Water Safety Visit from the RNLI Today we were delighted to welcome the RNLI Water Safety Team into school to share some vital life saving messages with our children. Through engaging activities, clear demonstrations and thoughtful discussions, pupils learned how to stay safe around water, how to recognise danger, and what to do in an emergency. The children listened brilliantly, asked sensible questions and showed great maturity throughout. A huge thank you to the RNLI team for giving up their time to help keep our children and community safe. Such an important and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Celebrating Honesty in Our School Community We are incredibly proud of our children for showing the wonderful value of honesty in their words and actions this week. From telling the truth even when it's tricky, to owning up and making things right, our pupils are showing real courage and integrity. These moments may seem small, but they help build strong character, trust, and respect skills that will last a lifetime. Well done to all of our children for choosing honesty and helping to make our school such a positive, caring place to learn and grow.

Feeling so proud today! Our wonderful children shone brightly at the Lyme Regis Mayor's Civic Carol Service – their voices, smiles, and spirit truly captured the magic of Christmas. It was an honour to see them represent our school with such joy and confidence. What a special way to celebrate the season together as a community.

What a magical afternoon in Lyme Regis Our wonderful carol singers visited the nursing home today to share Christmas songs, spread joy, and fill the halls with the most amazing voices. So proud of this lovely group; their kindness and talent brought smiles, warmth, and a whole lot of festive cheer to our community.

Today we celebrated our Christingle service a beautiful tradition where each part of the Christingle carries a special meaning: the orange represents the world, the red ribbon reminds us of God's love, the candle is the light of Christ, and the sweets symbolise the fruits of the earth and the four seasons. As we made our Christingles together, we learned about their meaning and shared in the joy of this special service. A heartfelt thank you to everyone in our community who joined us, and especially to those who so kindly donated the oranges.

What a feast! Miss Whiteley treated us all to the most amazing Christmas dinner today; turkey with all the trimmings, beautifully cooked and enjoyed by every pupil and member of staff. It even left us all with that lovely, sleepy afternoon feeling that only a proper festive lunch can bring. A huge thank you to Miss Whiteley for preparing and cooking such a delicious meal, to our visitors who joined us, and to all the staff who helped make the day such a success. A truly wonderful festive celebration!

Advent is here! A big thank you to Lister Class for helping us get our Christmas tree ready as we begin this special season of hope and preparation. Advent reminds us to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Christmas. It's a time of waiting with expectation and sharing light with others.

Celebrating Our STARS of the Week: Value of Trust This week, our STARS have truly shone by living out our school vision: "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Through their actions, they've shown what trust looks like; being reliable, respectful, and kind to everyone around them. Trust builds strong friendships, helps us learn together, and makes St Michael's a place where everyone feels safe and valued. Well done to each of our STARS for showing these qualities every day!

Value of the Week: RESPECT Today we are so proud of our amazing children who have been showing and demonstrating our core value of Respect in everything they do this week. From listening carefully to each other's ideas, to using kind words and helping friends, they've shown that respect is at the heart of our school community. Respect isn't just about good manners; it's about valuing everyone's thoughts, feelings, and differences. Our pupils are shining examples of this every day! Well done to all our respectful learners
