Flyers will be issued for the North Lanarkshire Easter Sports Programme.
It is an exciting programme with 9 sport specific programmes and a multi sports programme available across 15 of our venues.

The sports offer a range of skills at introductory level in a fun safe environment.

Room 3 Welcome Spring!!

March 15, 2017 Mrs Docherty Leave a comment

Room 3 have been very busy preparing for the arrival of the season of spring. They went outside to go on an early spring watch and spotted lots of early signs in the change of season. They kept a record of this and then went back out a couple of weeks later to compare the results!

Within their classroom, room 3 have also made their very own Garden Centre, where children can create real life situations through imagination and role play, children have opportunities to be the Garden Centre manager, cashier, sales assistant, customer etc.

In literacy, room 3 have also been reading and writing about the traditional tale; Jack & the Beanstalk. They have planted their own ‘magic beans’ (runner beans) and are measuring their growth each week. Room 3 have also planted sunflower seeds for the Sunflower Tea Party! In drama, they have presented the story of Jack and the Beanstalk to an audience.

Throughout these learning experiences children have gained knowledge and understanding of the importance of caring for seeds and plants, throughout their journey. Great work Room 3.

A Blast from the Past

March 11, 2017 Mrs Docherty Leave a comment

Many thanks to all the parents who brought along their children for the evening performance of our school concert onThursday evening. The school community appreciates that it was a big ask and that our younger children were later getting to bed on Thursday night. We thank you for all your support. We hope you enjoyed Thursday evenings performances, even with our now traditional technical hitch! Below is a slideshow that has captured the magic of the performances from pupils across the school. We are very fortunate to have so many wonderfully talented children at St.Augustine’s School.

Many thanks to the pupils and staff of St.Ambrose who invited our Pr.7 pupils to a Fairtrade coffee morning on Friday. It was a real pleasure and the entertainment provided by the wide array of talent at St.Ambrose was an added bonus. The cupcakes, as you can see from the pictures, were absolutely delicious !

Blast from the Past

March 9, 2017 Mrs Docherty 1 Comment

The school delivered a great performance yesterday afternoon at our Golden Jubilee celebratory concert. It was a real Blast from the Past for the audience as they were taken on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and revisited the sounds of the 60’s,70’s, 80’s, 90’s and noughties. The school will perform once again to a packed house this evening. Tickets are now sold out. We will get pictures posted on the blog that capture the talent on display from across the school. Please remember to check the blog. The children would love to hear your comments from the evening so please post a comment.
