Room 7 visited the Sky Academy in Livingston today. The children were given a challenge to design a piece of technology that could help someone with hearing/sight difficulties. They had the opportunity to use cutting edge technology to create their own adverts for the products. We seen some excellent teamwork with children working as presenters, directors, camera operators and we even had some special effect technicians. Well done everyone!!
A whistle-stop tour of dancing from back in the time of WW1.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed it!
“It was fun and I liked the step-hop bit” Lucia
“My favourite bit was doing the step-hop bit” Jamie
“I like how joyful and cheery the music is” Holly
”I liked the castle walk dance, the bit when we go round in circles” Jay
Room 15 were receiving some dance lessons from Miss Giblin today. They were learning some dances from World War 1, starting with the Castle Walk. The children were really enjoying themselves, they took their roles very seriously.
Miss Devoy and Room 13 worked very hard last week to organise a fantastic MacMillan Coffee Morning within the school. It came with the usual array of entertainment and let’s not forget the ‘The Great St Augustine’s Bake Off’. The children in Room 13 worked hard to prepare a song showcasing their admiration for the nurses and the fighters and survivors. We had some fantastic entries from children throughout the school for our Bake Off, from Unicorns and Books to Tree-house Tea Parties and Cheeseburgers & Chips. Thank you to all who attended and donated, we raised an amazing £552.71!

Primary 7 have been working with our very own Deacon Mr Harper from our parish as part of our Pope Francis Faith Award preparation. We have been learning more about our Christian Witness and how we can become ambassadors of faith. We shared our knowledge on Church and Holy Communion etiquette today.
As you can see our characters are taking shape. We got to photograph our characters against a backdrop this week and watch some of the animations we made last week. Great fun!
