Excitement was building this week at St Augustine’s as our football team prepared for their big day at Wembley. In the lead-up to the match, the boys had an incredible opportunity to be inspired by a very special guest — David Hodgson, former player for Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Liverpool, as well as former manager of Darlington.
This week at St Augustine’s, our Early Years pupils have been busy celebrating the incredible life and work of Sir David Attenborough, as he marks his 100th birthday! Our Reception children took part in an exciting live lesson all about Sir David Attenborough’s life, learning about his amazing adventures and his passion for the natural world. They also enjoyed listening to a story about him and put their knowledge to the test with a fun quiz—achieving an impressive 15 out of 15!
Our Year 5 cricket team recently enjoyed a fantastic day at the Darlington Primary Cricket Festival, representing St Augustine’s with pride and enthusiasm. Across four exciting matches, the team demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see the boys confidently showcasing the cricket skills they developed during PE lessons last half term, including batting, bowling and fielding techniques.
