Representatives from the national Water Swim Safe Summer Campaign were due to come in yesterday to speak to the whole school in a special assembly but this has now been postponed until Monday. We are happy to work in partnership with them to emphasise the importance of safe swimming over the summer holidays as part of our ongoing safeguarding responsibility to our children, both when they are in and outside of school.

All week year 6 continued to work hard on their wonderful production of 'Shakespeare Rocks', which was performed last evening to their friends and family - and wow, just wow.. Many congratulations to all staff and children involved in such an extravaganza and what an amazing memory was made for the children taking part as they prepare for their last week in St Michael's.

And this morning we were delighted to welcome nine new pupils who will be starting in September and who joined us today to meet their new class and teachers, while the whole school also enjoyed their Move Up morning.

Punctuality is a life skill and we ask ALL families to ensure their children are in on time. Being late for school impacts and disrupts the whole class and shows discourtesy to the teaching staff.

Year 1 Visit To Dean City Farm:

We walked through Morden Hall Park to reach the farm. We saw chickens, ducks, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, sheep, goats, cows and horses. We ate our lunch in the shade of some beautiful leafy trees.

Whilst at the mosque, children learned about the pillars of Islam and even had a demonstration of how Muslim worshippers pray in the mosque!

They had lots of questions and found it very interesting, a perfect accompaniment to their RE learning about Islam this half term.
