Friday Assembly
Our end of month school assembly saw our new Primary 7 House Captains and Vice Captains present their first whole school assembly. They did a wonderful job and presented with great confidence. At our Friday assembly the Editor of the Coatbridge and Airdrie Advertiser came along with one of the judges of the Writing Competition. We were delighted to announce that one of our very own Pr.7 pupils came in third in her catergory that had over 250 entries. Quite an achievement.!! She was presented with a wonderful glass award and vouchers. Our children are really aspiring to great things and we could not be more proud. Please watch out for the feature in the next edition of the Advertiser. Our end of month assembly gave us a chance to celebrate the Writers, Maths Stars and Artisits of the Month!! Well done boys and girls!!

Primary one and two have been learning about the sacrament of Baptism.
They have shared many personal items from home such as; baptismal candles, baptismal certificates, shawls, christening gowns, hats, shoes, blankets etc.
They spoke about the importance of being part of Gods family and the significant roles that our parents/God parents have on our lives.
They chose someone to be the priest and someone to be parents and God parents and then they performed their own baptism on their dolls in role play.

Pr.1 Shared Reading
Our weekly Shared Reading Project involving the pupils, parents and grandparents of Pr. 1 is going from strength to strength every week. The children are enjoying the experience of welcoming a family member into school and reading together. Our slideshow captures why reading for enjoyment is so important.
Catholic Education Week
This Sunday St.Augustine’s pupils will join St.Ambrose pupils at services in St.Augustine’s Church to celebrate Catholic Education Week.
“What makes the Catholic school distinctive is its attempt to generate a community climate that is permeated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and love.”
New Additions
The junior and senior department were delighted to welcome an array of new fiction texts to add to their class libraries. Many thanks to Mrs.Fraser who spent a great deal of time making sure the chosen books will encourage our children to read for enjoyment. Most of the books purchased appear on Nicola Sturgeon’s Reading Challenge list. We are thankful to all parents who purchased books are our two previous Book Fairs as the books are purchased with the commission from sales.
