This week at St. Michael’s our focus has been on the Fruit of the Spirit gentleness, thinking about how we can show gentleness and compassion in our daily lives and how it can help us build stronger and more meaningful relationships. We began by exploring this with Steve in the church on Monday.

Another warm week has seen more than 20 children from years 3- 6 show great growth as they mastered the art of riding a bicycle for the first time. It's been wonderful to see the joy on their faces once they achieved this important life skill in just an hour or so. And some of them went straight to buy a reconditioned bike at the Cycle Market after school yesterday!

Other highlights this week included a tea party in the sun with our SAS group and their parents where we welcomed the current nursery children who will be joining the group from next year. This was a particularly special event knowing that, such is military life, no less than 7 members will be moving on this summer.

And of course the week has culminated in an incredible Science Fair, led by Ms Smith, our Science Faculty Coordinator. What an amazing display of designs and experiments we have seen and we were grateful to all the visiting judges, as well as Ms Smith, for facilitating this fantastic initiative. Well done to all the gallant winners, to be announced at 4:50pm. Photos and reportage will appear in next week's News and Notices.

Next week, we will be covering the important art of self control and how we can develop this feature in our actions and words and in our life choices.

Year 4 Trip to London Transport Museum:
Year 4 had a lovely trip to the Transport Museum on Monday as part of our history learning about the Windrush, where we learned about how many people who came from the Caribbean as part of the Windrush generation worked for London Transport in our ‘Caribbean Journeys’ workshop.

The children had the chance to see artefacts from this time and act out freeze frames of the many ways the Windrush generation impacted Britain. We also explored the museum, with lots of interesting information, following their stamp trail!

The children enjoyed the day and we were very grateful for all the adults who joined us and made the trip possible (despite the rather ironic tube delays getting there).
