Business Partnership Signing
On Friday the St.Andrew’s Hospice committee members signed a business partnership with St.Andrew’s Hospice. Lysney Morrison from the Hospice was there to look over the proceedings and to discuss with members how they could work together in the coming months.
Friday Assembly
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!
Macmillan Tea and Coffee Morning
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.
Macmillan Tea and Coffee Morning
The school plays host to a coffee/tea morning on Friday at 10 o’clock. One of our Pr.7 classes have taken on the responsibility of organising this event and are even planning to do some baking. Donations of cakes on the day would be greatly appreciated. Our young musicians have gladly accepted a booking to perform whilst you have your tea/coffee and cake. We hope you can join us.
Woodlands Workout
Today primary 1/2 had lots of fun in the garden doing a Woodlands Workout.
We started by warming up our bodies with lots of games relating to bugs and the outdoors. We then got to work using our checklists and clipboards to investigate our very own school Bug Hotel. We saw several bugs, such as; flies, woodlice, spiders, snails and wasps to name a few. Our bugs are enjoying living in their hotel.
We then investigated the woodland area for signs of Autumn, our sticky strips collected, leaves, bark, feathers etc. there are lots of signs already!
After that we used our plastic cups to make Yucky Cocktails with mud and leaves and other items from the garden, we mixed it all up with our sticks. it was very messy!
A very exciting morning outside in the garden.
