This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is an important part of the Christian calendar. It means 'coming' and it's the period before Christmas which celebrates the birth of Jesus. On the first Sunday of Advent, we start with a celebration of Jesus’ Second Coming. Jesus is coming back for us, therefore, we take heed to Jesus’ instruction for us to “ Stay awake ” and be on guard. The first candle on the advent wreath represents Hope.

Well done to this week's Headteacher Award Winners! You are all superstars!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at St Michael's!

We are working with a number of charities to support our community through this challenging time and helping to spread a little Christmas kindness. If you, or someone you know, requires support with food or even a gift for your child this Christmas, please get in touch with the school office via email or telephone.

Year 3 had a great afternoon at Forest school with Mrs Scott. We explored making fires with a flint steel and we even got to make s'mores and have some hot chocolate.

This week, Year One are innovating Sidney the Spider into Rob the Rat. Here is our story map!

When Year 2 came in from lunch time the classroom looked a little bit different. Miss Fowler and Mrs Hillard were dressed in a different costume, there was chalkboard on the desks and our whiteboard was turned off. We spent the afternoon jumping back in time to the Victorian Era. We had a go at writing our names on the chalkboard with chalk. We then had time to play with some toys that were used in the past. We noticed that lots of them were made from wood and none of them us

Year One had our Reading Assembly this morning. We really enjoyed reading 'Hair Love'. Afterwards, we talked about how everyone looks different and we should treat everyone with kindness.

Year 2 had a great Thursday afternoon at Forest school. Mrs Scott told us what we needed to light the fire and some of helped to light it. We then all had chance to toast some marshmallows over the fire then make smores which were yummy! We then enjoyed a hot chocolate before having some time to play in the Secret Garden. We can't wait to go back to Forest School.
