Year 6
A very warm welcome back, to all of our lovely Year 6 pupils. Your teaching team hope you have had a well deserved rest and that you're ready for your very final term, with us here at 'St Augustine's'. Lets make it the best one yet! - full of achievements and everlasting memories.
Article 31: You have the right to rest and play
Article 29 - Children have the right to develop their talents
On Tuesday the 24th May, Year 6 were invited along to a taster session at Hough End, in south Manchester. The purpose of the visit was to demonstrate to young people what it is like to compete in a Triathlon, which consists of three main events. Each child had a go at swimming, bike riding and running. The main goal was to develop sportsmanship and comradery. Our pupils made staff extremely proud on how they cheered one another on. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces at the end, having each achieved a medal for taking part.
Article 29 - Children have the right to develop their talents
On Friday the 20th of May, 14 of our wonderfully skilled footballers were invited to 'Manchester City's training ground. They luckily had the opportunity to compete against other local schools in a competitive tournament. Our team worked amazingly well to get as far as the quarter finals which is the furthest we have ever gotten in this type of competition. All of the children were shining stars: were very respectful and worked co-operatively whilst representing our school.
A massive well done to all participants!

Article 28 - Children have the right to a good quality education
Today, we were all lucky enough to visit 'Manchester Central Library'. Our class got to meet a famous, author called Chris Smith. We learnt how drawing a map can inspire us to write creative stories. As a group, we also had the chance to have our questions answered by a professional writer. It was fun listening about Chris' career.

Today was World Book Day! To celebrate books, authors, illustrators and reading, the whole school dressed as book characters or wore their pyjamas. We celebrated with a costume parade in assembly, where the pupils walked around the hall to show off their looks. In class time we took part in "Drop Everything and Read" where we took time out of the lesson to read our books. In the afternoon, Year Six visited Year One and read to the younger pupils. Overall, it was a great day!
