Today is St Michael's Feast day and this morning to celebrate Years 2,3,4,5 and 6 went to mass at St Michael's church. Father William commented that the children of St Michael's sang beautifully and were a credit to our school and their family. Thank you to all the parents and parishioners that joined us at church to celebrate such a special feast day.

Yesterday, children from Key Stage 2 began their ping pong lunchtime club. They had great fun and will develop their skills over the next few weeks. Mr Gorman.

What a brilliant day! St Michael’s choir performed ‘When I Grow Up’ at Whitley Bay Playhouse this afternoon to help raise funds for the Smile for Life charity. The choir had a blast and performed with smiles on their faces. Your teachers are very proud of you! Well done St Michael’s choir!

Year 4 enjoyed meeting the author Cressida Cowell on Thursday. She spoke about her love of reading, and how she used nature to inspire her stories. She encouraged everyone to write, once a week, without a teacher marking it - this way you can write freely and fearlessly. She spent time talking to the children afterwards, passing on her love of reading - and some of them had their books signed by her.

Well done to all of our Headteacher Award winners!

This afternoon EYFS explored the Secret Garden and went on a stick hunt. We counted how many sticks we had gathered and then made numbers out of the sticks.

St Michael's Primary School has now become an official Music Mark School.
