Bling Day

We will be holding our first ever creative Bling Day next term.  The idea is for all the girls to get creative with their teachers, using coins (10c, 20c, 50c, R1, R2 & R5) to create pavement artwork based on a theme they are given. A special treat will be awarded to the class with the most creative & fun design! All proceeds (coins collected) will benefit the Micklefield School Bursary Fund. Please see Poster for more information.
