In celebration of World Thinking Day, the Guide and Scouts Association Founders Day, girls may wear their respective Teddy, Brownie, Guide or Ranger uniform to school on Thursday the 22nd of February 2024.
Our school uniform policy (refer to Edana App – Documents) states that girls in Grades 1-2 may wear the white Micklefield caps and the grey Micklefield caps are for Grades 3-7. If the grey cap is way too big for your daughter in Grades 3-7, a white cap can then be worn. Every child must have a hat at school every day.
All unclaimed and unmarked lost property has now been absorbed into the Second Hand Uniform shop. This will be the procedure at the end of each week. Marked items that are picked up around the school are being handed out to the girls daily in their classrooms, at a cost of 10 house points for each item (Gr1-7).
The 2025 Term Dates were e-mailed to parents this past week and are also available on the Edana App under Documentation, together with the 2024 Term Dates.
The updated 2024 sport and extra-mural programme is available on the Edana App, under Documentation. Please check both the Term 1 and 4 (Summer) and the Term 2 and 3 (Winter) schedules when doing your planning. All information with regards to the private extra-murals on offer is available on the Edana App under Documentation, Sport/Extra-murals. Please liaise directly with the extra-mural providers.
Gala dates for Term 1 2024:
The Knysna Hockey Tour trials will be held on Saturday 17 February at the Bishops Astro from 08:15 – 11:30. All interested players are to attend. Information in this regard has gone out to the girls and has been put on the class WhatsApp group. Any queries please contact Sandi Blackbeard sandi@micklefield.co.za
A past parent has very kindly agreed to trial the Chess Club, starting on Monday, 19 February in the Library from 07.00 – 07.45. We will see how this works and whether it is something that will become a permanent fixture on our extra-mural programme.
The Grade 3s thoroughly enjoyed working in groups to display all the knowledge they gained whilst exploring their insect theme. Look at the beautiful detailed drawings they made!
They then went on to showcase their insect research by collaborating on Slides to create presentations. The girls blew Mrs Dey away with their amazing collaboration skills!
The school was decked in red, white, and pink for Valentine’s Day. The Grade 7s led the way with their various portfolio activities – an outing to the Rondebosch Police Station, a Teachers’ Tea and personalised cards, and the much-anticipated Grade 7 Bakesale. Well done, Grade 7s, and thanks to all who supported!
