Ava Pattenden (Grade 4, above right) and her family have very kindly donated a swimming mascot to the school. The idea came to mind when Ava’s mom noticed a number of schools with mascots at the Inter-Schools gala earlier this year. We would like to name our new member of the Micklefield family so we will be holding a competition to choose a name for our penguin. Girls can hand in to reception their name of choice with their own name and grade alongside. Entries are to be in by Monday 9th May.
Grade 6s and their parents attended a conflict resolution workshop on Saturday, in preparation for their role as Grade 7 school mediators next year. Some of the Grade 7s assisted Mrs Welgemoed to demonstrate how to mediate conflict in Fairy Tales!
