Reward Trip

Posted on by

Year 6 were taken to The Dumps adventure park for a fun afternoon out. The park is situated near to our school, so they had 2 hours of freedom to explore the park and burn off some energy. They played a game of ‘tag’, swung on the ropes, went down the zip wire and enjoyed a game of football on the field. If the children wanted to they were also allowed to play pool or table tennis indoors. An enjoyable day had by all and a lovely way to end SATs week.

School Councillors Visit The Mayor

Posted on by

The School Councillors from Years 5 and 6, Michaela, Che, Llywella and Rex,  spent an informative morning at the Civic Suite . When they arrived they completed a quiz about the London Borough of Lewisham, looked at Mayoral Regalia included former and current mayoral Maces and tried out the Mayoral chair. They then went into the Council Chambers , where they met the Deputy Young Mayor of Lewisham, Tekisha Henry from Sedgehill. She explained how she was elected and what her role is . They then went to meet Sir Steve Bullock, the Mayor of Lewisham. He showed them his Mayoral Chain and Badge and explained the work of Lewisham Council. The Councillors asked him about their policies and questioned him on his achievements and role as Mayor.

At the end of the morning Sir Steve announced the winners of the quiz and we were delighted to hear that it was………..St Augustines!  A fantastic end to a thought provoking and interesting morning.

When Cells Misbehave: Cancer

Posted on by

Year 6 took part in the pre-show and post-show exercises which captured the distance of learning travelled by the children after the wonderful assembly and hands-on workshop they participated in. Year 6 were able to voice any concerns they had about cancer and also how much the show/activities helped them to understand cancer.

Year 6 were honest and very mature about the questions asked and the discussions had around the class exercises. They used the knowledge gained along with scientific language to enhance their understanding.

‘West Side Story’ at Bonus Pastor

Posted on by

Year 6 visited Bonus Pastor to see one of the greatest musicals of all time, West Side Story. The performance was directed by Miss Clarke, a drama teacher at the college. Years 7, 8 & 9 took to the stage to perform the 1st scene for 3 local primary schools and St Augustine’s were happy to be there. It was a fantastic afternoon which year 6 thoroughly enjoyed – we were amazed to see some familiar faces in the performance. A big thank you to Mr Manning for organising the afternoon.
