Just a quick message to let you all know that the Year 6 children and all of the staff have arrived safely in London and are currently enjoying themselves at the Science Museum! We hope they all have a fantastic time!!!

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.

Well done to all the children and staff who managed to get into school today. Although it is still freezing outside we managed to have a good day in school with as classes as normal as possible. Mr Reay cleared a path for everyone and school opened at 9.30 a.m. The sun is shining and the snow looks so beautiful. There will be plenty of snowmen around school tonight!!

You may remember that last year all the children in school were asked to submit a piece of writing to be included in our very own book.

Well...the time has come for the book to be released!

The book, titled 'We are Writers', will be available to view and order at the book fair which will run from Monday 16th November to Thursday 19th November before and after school in the hall. As well as providing a fantastic memento of your child's work, each book sold will raise funds to buy books for our new school library.

If you wish to find out more you can visit the We Are Writers website at www.wearewriters.com.

We look forward to hearing your comments!
