This morning we held our very own talent competition! Everyone performed brilliantly - from comedy to magic to dancing and even card tricks! Each act was judged by our very own judges 'Mrs Chapman, Miss Consterdine, Miss Murphy and our Head Judge Mrs Rowley'. They decided that Sakib and Camilla would take the 1st prize for their fantastic gymnastics routine. Well done to all children who took part - St Michael's really does have the X Factor!

KS2 retold the Christmas Story this afternoon, through dance, song and acting. They sang beautifully and the church was filled with lots of beautiful candles. A special way to remember the birth of Jesus, this Christmas time. Thank you to all who attended.

Santa came to school today! He left his reindeer on the roof and brought a big bag of presents for all the lucky children. Year 1 and Santa sang “Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer” before he left. The children loved the fantastic books that they were given and couldn’t wait to read them. After that they had lots of fun at the disco.
