Science: As part of British Science Week we were asked "What's your question?" and the children have been working hard to create displays answering their burning science questions. Please do come along to our Science Fair on Monday at 3pm to see what your child has been working on.
Other: On Thursday we had a visit from Louise at Warwickshire Road Safety team who talked to the children about impulsivity and how we can manage ourselves in order to be safer on the roads. The children will be coming home with bookmarks and will be able to share lots of information with you about how they can keep themselves safe on the roads as their independence increases.

RE: In RE we have started work on our Lent unit. We revised what Lent is and created our own Lenten promises around the themes of praying, fasting and giving.
Other: Thank you all for your efforts to make our World Book Day so sucessful. The children had the opportunity to be really creative throughout the day and write their own book. We had a quite illustration lesson to compliment our work and Mrs Anderson and Mrs Duffy were really impressed with what we created. Well done Year 6.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
