Tae Kwon Do

Many of our classes enjoyed taster sessions today as part of our health week which has a focus on promoting a variety of activities and raising pupil awareness of clubs in the locality.   During  P.E. slots children, under the guidance of a Tae Kwon Do instructor, participated in a wide variety of moves .  As you can see from the slideshow below they all enjoyed the experience.

Our Friday assembly updated the school community in regard of the variety of activities that the school community have been involved with since the start of term.  Our Pupil Voice Groups gave an update in regard of their plans for the months ahead with the new Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of each committee addressing the assembly.  Lynsey Morrison from St.Andrew’s Hospice spoke to the school about the work of the Hospice and congratulated the school for raising over £16,400 over the past years.  Quite an astonishing sum of money.  This was the first assembly presented by our new group of Captains and Vice Captains and this did a fantastic job.  Very polished and professional indeed.  Well done to everyone!

Congratulations to Mrs. Allison’s wonderful group of Pr.7 pupils who lead,  organised and managed a very successful morning.  The children did a wonderful job of presenting a powerpoint about the role of Macmillan nurses and also presented a very entertaining sketch that gave our talented pupils an opportunity to show off their drama skills.  The variety of cakes on display was a great testament to the very talented bakers we have at St.Augustine’s.  Mary Berry eat your heart out!  The morning raised the astonishing sum of £510.67.  A huge big thank you to everyone for your support on the day and for the mouthwatering cakes.
