Reception had lots of fun at Forest School this morning! Mrs Scott made a fire and we toasted marshmallows. We also used a Kelly Kettle to heat up water for our Hot Chocolate. We had lots of fun!

In their Science lesson today the Year 1 bubble identified some trees in the school grounds. They tied labels to the trees so that everyone sharing the playground can learn the names of trees. We are very lucky at St Michael’s– we have Ash, Rowan, Cherry, Yew , Sycamore, Hazel and Apple trees.

We are now a supporting school of City of Sanctuary! We are featured on their website. You can find this on the following link: https://cityofsanctuary.org/get-involved/sign-an-organisation-pledge/supporting-organisations/

They used a knife to spread butter and jam, then carefully cut the sandwich into triangles, just like in the book. Earlier they had completed their Lighthouse keepers cat – by adding triangles of felt to make ears, and carefully sticking on eyes and a tail. A lovely end to a great week.

We had a fantastic time at Sports Day! We did 5 events. We did Hurdles, balanced the bean bag on our head, ran really fast, poured water and balanced eggs on spoons. We cheered on our friends and we shouted really loud for our friends! ‘I loved the Water Race’ said Sky ‘I enjoyed the bean bag race’ said Robert. ‘I won and got a sticker!’ said Ruby and Jordan ‘The water race was fun! I got really wet!’ said Livinia-Rose 'I loved the running race because it was so satisfying wh

Today the KS1 bubble spent the morning in the Secret Garden. We built castles, towers and made people out of sticks! We loved playing in the mud!

To end our week learning about animals, we created some super tasty snacks to enjoy this afternoon!
