Q. What do you call a class full of heroes and villains?

A. Hard work!
I'm sure Mrs Lynch would not agree with this and that her very imaginatively-dressed children were all as good as gold all day!

Did someone call for a superhero?!

Miss Dunsire had her work cut out when 31 heroes and villains crowded into her classroom on world book day. Luckily there were just enough heroes to keep the peace! Thank you for a fantastic effort Year 3/4!

I need a hero!!!

The children in Mr Renwick's class certainly put a lot of 'character' into their world book day costumes! Here are just a few photos to show their super effort.

Evacuation at St Augustine's!

As part of their current history topic on World War II, the children in Years 3 and 4 spent the day as World War II evacuees. They learned how to protect themselves during an air raid, sang songs from the time and took part in activities designed to give them more idea of what it was like to be a child during the war. A huge thank you to parents for the efforts that were put into the children's costumes, it really helped to create the atmosphere for the day.

Help for Haiti

On Friday 29 January the children of St Augustine's came to school in fancy dress or their own clothes to raise money for the victims of the eartquake in Haiti. Children in Year 3 and Year 3/4 also brought cakes to sell. Overall £660 and counting has been raised, which is a magnificent total! Thank you to all of the children and parents for this super effort!

Update on School and Nursery Opening Times

Thank you for your continued support and co-operation during this highly unusual time of severe weather.

The most recent weather warning we have received indicates there will be a very slow thaw over the next seven to ten days with temperatures remaining just above freezing in the daytime.

In light of this we will return to normal school times from Tuesday 12 January opening at 8.50 a.m. and closing at 3.10 p.m.

As you know predicting the weather is somewhat of a 'lottery' and these plans may suddenly need to change. In the event that we do need to close school we will put information on local radio, the school website at www.staugustinesprimary.org together with Gateshead LA website: www.gateshead.gov.uk - go to 'Severe Weather' page.

Unfortunately, we will still be unable to run any clubs or start the Breakfast club until the weather improves.

Thank you.

School and Nursery Arrangements - Severe Weather

Monday, 11th January to Friday, 15th January 2010

The forecast for the next ten days indicates that there is likely to be more snow and freezing temperatures. I have completed a risk assessment and decided that we will endeavour to remain open next week. However, to allow time for staff and children to get safely to and from school in these conditions we will have reduced school session times. School will open at 9.30 a.m. and close at 2.00 p.m. each day unless the weather significantly changes, in which case we will update this information.

In the event that we do need to close school we will put information on local radio, the school website at www.staugustinesprimary.org and Gateshead LA website: www.gateshead.gov.uk, then go to 'Severe Weather' page so please do check.
