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. It is essential that every child has 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).
We happy to announce that we have a new bicycle rack at the front of the school, to the right inside the main gate. Please park any bicycles there. Happy cycling!

Grade 1-3 pupils at Walmer Estate Primary were delighted to return to school this year and hear that Father Christmas had brought them each a gift! Past Micklefield teacher, Pippa Schouw, personally selected the gift to best suit each child. Thank you to all who contributed and made a bright and exciting start to the school year for these pupils.
The Great Hopper Race! Well done, Grade 4s, on your fantastic collaboration and problem-solving in Robotics. It wasn’t easy controlling those playful hoppers!
The Grade 5s are participating in a Google Earth scavenger hunt in Geography while learning about map skills.
Grade 6s focus on balancing and core strength, arm and shoulder strength, skipping and accuracy in throwing.
To review the section on Photosynthesis and apply their knowledge, the Gr 6s were challenged with their first Digital escape room.
A very busy Grade 2 class – paired reading and interactive maths.
