St Michael's CE VAPrimary School

What a brilliant finale to Coram Class's Chef Adopt a School journey! The children had an unforgettable time in their final session with Tom Robinson from Tom's Kitchen in Lyme. This front-of-house experience in the school hall had them preparing the restaurant, taking orders, and serving up dishes with confidence and smiles. Such a valuable, hands-on taste of the hospitality world. A huge thank you to Tom for his generosity, inspiration, and all he's done to make this experience so special. Here's to future chefs and front-of-house stars in the making!

Year 5 had an unforgettable morning at Woodroffe School! From exploring amazing art lessons to tucking into pizza and cookies, and diving into hands-on science funit was a day packed with surprises and smiles. They represented St Michael's brilliantly throughout, and we couldn't be prouder. An absolute credit to the school!

Our brilliant Coram Class stepped into the shoes of real-life paleontologists at Lyme Regis Fossil Festiva, and what an adventure it was! With a sharp eye for ancient treasures, our budding fossil hunters discovered the secrets of where Mary Anning once walked - uncovering stories from millions of years ago. From ammonites to ichthyosaurs, our young explorers are definitely on the path to prehistoric greatness. A great day out!

What a day to remember! Our amazing Year 6 pupils took a special train journey to the stunning Salisbury Cathedral for their Leavers' Serviceand what a send-off it was. The day was filled with excitement and amazement. Every child represented our school brilliantly, showing outstanding behaviour throughout. A true credit to themselves, their families, and the school community. So proud to have been with them on this unforgettable milestone. Thank you Year 6!

Attendance Achievements at St Michael's CE Primary As we reach the end of another busy half term, we're delighted to share some wonderful news about our pupils' attendance. This half term, we've seen the most upward trends in attendance in all three classes (3 each), which is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our community. To celebrate this achievement, we'll be hosting a non-uniform day for all our pupils tomorrow, Friday 14th February. This is a chance for them to come to school in their own clothes and feel a sense of pride in their accomplishments. We're incredibly proud of our pupils and the progress they've made. Attendance is such an important factor in a child's education, and we're thrilled to see our community embracing the importance of being in school every day. Thank you to all our families for your continued support. Together, we can ensure that every pupil at St Michael's CE Primary has the best possible chance to succeed.

Dear Litter Pickers Just a reminder that we have a litter pick this Sunday 16 February from 1030-1230. As usual we will meet at the RNLI and, if you don't bring them yourselves, can provide gloves, pickers and bags. We're delighted that, once again, Baboo are kindly offering participants a free ice cream or hot drink. According to the forecast, it should be dry, but if we have to cancel, we will post on Turn Lyme Green's social media earlier that morning. Another date for your diary is Saturday 5 April 1100-1300 when we plan to hold a litter pick as part of Litter Free Dorset's annual Great Dorset Beach Clean. We hope to see you at both events. Yours Janet and Caroline.

Exciting Changes to Our Attendance Challenge! Dear parents and guardians, This half term, we're thrilled to announce some exciting changes to how we celebrate attendance! Instead of just looking at overall attendance figures, we'll be focusing on trends. We're keen to see which class can improve their attendance over time! At the end of the half term, the class that shows the most upward trend in attendance will be rewarded with a non-school uniform day on Friday 14th February! We believe that encouraging regular attendance is vital, and we can't wait to watch every class working together to build these positive habits. Your ongoing support is crucial in helping your child attend school every day. Together, let's make this half term a success! Remember, attendance matters! Thank you! #AttendanceChallenge #NonUniformDay #SchoolSpirit #EveryDayCounts #EducationMatters #AttendanceRewards #ClassChallenge
