Events

The much-loved Shimmy and Slice is back for 2025. Get ready for an evening of fun, laughter, and lots of dancing!

Traditionally, our Grade 5 girls invite their dads to join them on the dance floor, but we know this isn’t always possible. Girls are welcome to bring along any special adult in their lives—whether it’s a grandfather, uncle, or another family member.

This year, we will be having fun with some Country Western and Line Dancing. And of course, no Micklefield event would be complete without pizza to fuel the fun!

Book your space on KARRI before 2 November—don’t miss out on this unforgettable evening of music, movement, and memories.

Senior Assembly 24 October 2025

Well done to our musicians: Fatima, Catherine (Piano) and Zahraa (Recorder) for such beautiful solo performances in assembly.

Our Grade 00 and 0 girls had an absolutely magical time at Twilight Tales. 

Dressed in their favourite storybook outfits, they gathered for an evening of imagination, storytelling, and laughter. The night was made even better with delicious pizza and cosy moments shared with friends — the perfect recipe for bedtime adventures.

Grade 4 PE: indoor gym equipment

Grade 5

The girls enjoyed a wonderful outdoor lesson in the Cole’s garden, learning all about weather and climate.

Mrs Cole shared her passion for climate change and research, showing the girls just how valuable data collection is across many different careers.

This exploration flowed perfectly into their next Maths chapter — Data Handling!

Grade 00 playball

Our Grade 00 parents were invited to join in the fun at a special Playball session this week. They had the chance to watch their daughters in action — running, jumping, catching, and laughing their way through a lively lesson. It was a wonderful opportunity to see the girls’ growing confidence, coordination, and joy in movement.

Grade 0 Playball

Our Grade 0 girls were thrilled to have their parents join in for a fun-filled Playball lesson this week. There were smiles all around as mums and dads teamed up with their daughters to run, jump, and play together.
