Assembly Highlight: The Power of Hope Today, Reverend Fi led a heartwarming assembly on the value of hope, reminding us that no situation is beyond God's reach. The story of Jesus healing the paralysed man (Mark 2:1–12) came alive as our children beautifully re-enacted the moment of faith, friendship, and miraculous healing. "Hope is believing that something good can happen, even when it seems impossible." Through drama and prayer, our children shared how hope can lift us, heal us, and bring us closer to one another and to God. Let's carry the message of hope into our week!

Bridge Builders in the Making! Langmoor Class explored the world of structural engineering in Design & Technology! Using nothing but spaghetti and masking tape, they designed and constructed their own bridge structurestesting strength, investigating tension and compression, and unleashing heaps of creativity. The classroom buzzed with excitement and anticipation as each team prepared to put their design to the ultimate test. Did it stand strong, or did spaghetti crumble under pressure? Either way, it was all about experimenting, learning, and having fun throughout the journey! Brilliant effort, Langmoor! We loved seeing your ideas take shape

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!
