Welcome to St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

We welcomed the Kenilworth Mayor into school this afternoon to gift each child with a bookmark to mark the 100th Kenilworth Carnival

There are lots of wonderful activities planned for Kenilworth Books this summer

Just in case you missed the email, please see a copy of the sports day information below We are delighted to be able to welcome you back to school on Friday 10th July at 10am for Sports Day. In this letter you will find the outline of events, running order and any additional information, you may need. We are so excited to see you all and participate in Sports Day together. The children move around in their classes and compete in their houses at each station. The children will work clockwise around each station starting after the toddler and water races at 10am. Below is where each class will start: Starting order: Reception: 3-legged-race Year 1: House relay Year 2: Egg and spoon race Year 3: Hula hoops Year 4: Target throw/super shoot out Year 5: Obstacle race Year 6: Water race (all to watch) and then to rest stop 1 Events should take a maximum of 10 minutes, and a bell will be rung to signal the move to the next station. It would be great if the children could continue to come to school in a coloured t-shirt to represent their house. St Bernadette – Yellow St Francis – Green St Paul – Red St Teresa – Blue Please ensure your child comes to school wearing a hat and sun cream and brings a full named water bottle. Children will be encouraged to take water bottles round with them to all events. Teachers and teaching assistants will be running the activities for their classes which will be adapted to be age appropriate. When all events are completed, the children will gather on the field for a series of competitive sprint races and adults’ competition. Each class will have a sprint race, and stickers will be awarded for the top 3 finishers. If time allows, we may end with some parents events so make sure you’re wearing your PE kits! We have also booked an Ice Cream Van to attend Sport’s Day this year. Each child will get an ice cream, but parents and visitors are more than welcome to buy one if they would like to. Please do not buy an ice-cream for your child before their class goes up. When events have finished children will go inside to be registered before teachers send them back onto the field for the picnic. Parents are welcome to stay after Sports Day has finished and enjoy a picnic on the field with their children. If you cannot stay for the picnic please do not worry, teaching staff will be on hand to set up large areas for children to sit together and enjoy their lunch with their friends and other parents if they wish. A bell will be rung to signal the end of lunch/picnic time so please do send your child in promptly to be registered for the afternoon. Dinner choices: Only sandwich options will be provided on Friday 10th July. A picnic bag will be provided for all children in KS1 (Reception – Y2). If your child usually has a hot dinner they will be able to choose their sandwich filling on the morning of sports day but please make sure this is paid for in advance on your parent pay dinner choices. If you want to send in a packed lunch or bring a picnic for your family you are more than welcome to do this. Could we also ask that no children play on the play equipment during the Sports Day event and picnic please. We look forward to welcoming you all back to St Augustine’s School for another successful Sports Day. Many thanks for your support, Mrs Anderson

Some important safety messages for our whole community during this hot weather

Last week in Geography, Year 4 had fun creating interactive models of the water cycle. Their diagrams tracked the journey of water through each stage, and they did a fantastic job showing their understanding of how the water cycle works!🌧️

Just a reminder that our Year 5 and Year 6 children will be attending sessions with Stories from Hope and Home on Wednesday afternoon. The inspiring charity will then be delivering a session to school staff 3:45-4:45, members of the wider community are welcome to join if they wish

Happy Father’s Day from St Augustine’s 💙💛 Today we celebrate all those who care for and support our children, fathers and all father figures in our community. “The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” – Proverbs 20:7

We finished our retreat with a moment of reflection and these words from Timothy, which Pope Francis shared in his encyclical, “Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith.” And that is certainly what this team of children has done this week 💙💛 ETA 3:45 parents! The driver will be stopping on Hollis Lane, not pulling into the car park.

What a way to finish the retreat, survival for half the children and biking for the others ☀️

🍰 SOLD OUT! 🍰 Wow! We were absolutely overwhelmed by the support for our Year 2 Cake Sale today. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, every single cake had sold out by break time! A huge thank you to all of our Year 2 families for their wonderful cake donations and to everyone who purchased a treat. Your support will help us raise money for Missio and make a difference to communities around the world. Thank you for helping our children put their faith into action. #Missio #FaithInAction #SoldOut #Year2CakeSale

The bikers are off. Further photos to follow when Mrs Williams catches up 😮‍💨

Good morning from the castle! It was a very peaceful night with lots of sleep. Most of the children (and teachers!) needed waking this morning. Now the small task of packing, tidying, stuffing sleeping bags in those tiny little bags 🙈 applying sun cream, breakfast AND one final activity before we leave. A busy morning! Parents the children are so excited to see you 🥰

Pre mass disco in front of the castle

Archery, catapult building, team games and contract writing. Year 5 have certainly been busy today

We’ve had a lovely hymn practise before mass. We’ve got some great new hymns to share with our community 💙💛

Don't forget, year 2 are holding their cake sale TOMORROW! 50p a cake. All proceeds go to Missio.

This morning’s trek ended with a competitive game of Pooh Sticks 🍃

We’ve had SOME sleep, we’ve had breakfast and we’re ready for morning prayer before we head out for today’s activities.
