Summer Term 23/24
Year 5 This Girl Can Festival - Talbot Heath - 01.05.24
This is one of my favourite events of the year. The whole day is always so much fun and it's great to see girls playing and enjoying some sports that they would have never thought about trying. By the end of the day, a large majorty of the girls said how much they enjoyed the tag-rugby. How brilliant is that! Thank you once again for all the sports coaches that came down to inspire the girls. They got to play cricket, tag-rugby, rounders and even did a bit of cheerleading. Woooo....Go St Michael's!
Year 5&6 Can Do Cricket - Slade's Farm - 25.04.24
Well, what a great day. All of the children got involved and had lots of fun. It was wonderful to hear some of the children at the end explain how they were nervous and not quite sure about cricket at the start but ended up loving it by the end. We even managed to spot some inspiring cricket players within out St Michael's bunch.
Year 3&4 Tennis Festival - Victoria Avenue - 22.04.24
WOW oh WOW!!! We WON!!! How fantastic! There were 8 other schools at this event. All of the children went around in pairs and got involved in some tennis activities. During the activities, the children were able to score points for our school. St Michael's did amazing and now we are moving onto the next event! Go Team!!
Sports for Schools Athlete Visit - St Michael's School - 17.04.24
Wow!! What an incredible day! On Wednesday 17th April, our school was visited by former GB Gymnastic Kelly Simm. Throughout the day, all children within the school got to experience an exciting and encouraging experience. In the morning, each child did their fitness circuit, working hard for a minute within each exercise, and trust me...it was hard. In the afternoon, all the children were delivered an inspiring assembly by Kelly, where she spoke about her journey of perseverance and determination so that she could become a GB Gymnastic.
At the end of the day, Kelly and Paula, from sports for schools, were extremely complementary of our children and staff. They were so impressed with how all the children got involved. I am also extremely thankful and grateful for all of the effort that they children have put in to gain sponsors, as well as a huge thank you for all of the adults that gave sponsors. Some of the money raised will go back to sports for schools so that they can keep the programme running and the rest will come back to our school so we can buy sports equipment.
The moment you have all be waiting for...It’s very exciting to say that as a school we raised a total of....£2672.67!!!!!!!!
