1 St Michael s School 20 September, 2017 Newsletter No: 3 Fun Run Thank you to the enormous St. Michael s family who took part in the Mayor s Fun Run on Sunday. Our team was by far the biggest. The togetherness, the friendship and the fun, not to mention the resilience shown, just embodied the spirit of St. Michael s. Volunteers We had a wonderful bunch of parents, grandparents and friends attend the Volunteers meeting yesterday. It was good fun getting to know you and we look forward to working with you this year. Scholars Programme Well done to the ex-year Five (currently Year Six) children who took part in the Scholars Programme and worked so hard throughout and produced a mini-dissertation. Their graduation ceremony is at King s College University on Saturday. We are very proud of them. Bikeability Bikeability cycling skills starts next week for those children in 5F who have signed up for it. Please leave your bikes on the field next to the railings as you come in on Monday morning. Bikes should be taken home each day. Please don t forget your waterproof coats and most importantly, your bike helmets!

2 Swimming It was great to hear from the swimming instructors that they always look forward to St. Michael s visits to the pool because our children are always so polite, well behaved and follow instructions. We are pleased to say that we have been told that this year group is just as wonderful as their predecessors. Ocean Maths Our Year Four and Five parents did wonderfully at their Ocean Maths sessions last week the children weren t too bad either! All feedback was that it was great fun and well worth attending. This week, Year Two s session will be on Friday at 9am and next Wednesday and Thursday will be for Year s One and Three respectively. A Big Day for Reception On Monday, our Reception classes will be staying for lunch for the first time and then staying to carry on with the Reception fun all afternoon as well. Little do they know, it will be every day now until they are eighteen Harvest Service Year Four have been busy planning for and preparing our Harvest Service. Please join us at St. Michael s Church tomorrow (Thursday, 21 st September) to celebrate everything God has given us. 10am Gabriel service led by 4S 2pm Raphael Service led by 4G We would be very grateful for a small harvest gift (see list); please send any gifts in tomorrow with the children; if they cannot manage to carry it themselves, gifts can be left in the hall on the stage, many thanks. Harvest gifts will be donated to the North Enfield Foodbank. I am aware of the fact that some parents have children in different houses and it can be difficult to attend both. The following information might help you to choose which service to attend for each festival. Year Four lead the Harvest service Year Three lead the Nativity service Year Five lead the Easter Service Fr Stephen leads the Pentecost service Year Six lead the Moving On or Leavers service.
