A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our lively Bingo Evening—it was a night to remember. Hosted by the ever-entertaining Steve Sherman, the event was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and fabulous prizes. Families and friends gathered in high spirits, and the energy in the hall was infectious.
We are so grateful to our Micklefield community for their support and enthusiasm, and to all who helped make the evening such a success. We can’t wait to do it again.
What a fun-filled and busy term it has been for our Grade 00s. The girls have settled in beautifully, arriving each day with big smiles and a readiness to learn and play. They’ve embraced the daily routine with confidence, formed new friendships, and thrown themselves wholeheartedly into every classroom activity.
This term’s themes—Autumn, Pets, Occupations, and Dinosaurs—sparked curiosity and creativity, with the girls producing delightful artwork that has brightened our space. A highlight was welcoming parents to share about their careers—thank you, parents, for helping to make these moments so meaningful and memorable.
Whether exploring the playground, discovering new books, or engaging in imaginative play, the girls continue to grow in confidence, kindness, and independence. We’ve been so proud to watch them learn to wait their turn, tidy up with care, and support their peers.
We are incredibly proud of the progress each child has made and look forward to many more happy, wonder-filled days ahead. Thank you, parents, for your continued support on this exciting journey.
Our outing to Rosen Castle Activity Centre was a standout moment of the term, filled with joyful adventure and laughter. And lately, raking leaves into giant piles has become a favourite outdoor pastime!
What an incredible term it has been. Our young explorers have had an exciting journey diving into the world of animals, plants and insects. Through hands-on inquiry and playful discovery, the Grade 0s have grown their knowledge, curiosity, and connection to the natural world around them.
To begin the term, we explored the workings of a farm during our Farm to Table theme. We learned about where our food comes from, how animals are cared for, and the importance of farmers. Through role play, stories, and creative art, we recreated farm scenes and imagined a day in the life of a farmer. A visit to a real farm in the form of a virtual tour helped bring it all to life.
We moved from the farm to the animal kingdom, where girls learnt how to classify animals depending on their characteristics. From mammals to reptiles to sea creatures, the girls explored what makes each animal group unique. We observed animal tracks, made various multimedia art representations of different animals, and even created chimaeras using different parts of animals. The highlight? Going on safari around the playground to see how many animals we could spot using our homemade binoculars.
Our last theme got the girls creeping and crawling – Minibeasts. The girls thoroughly enjoyed learning about how bees make honey, how the hive works, and what makes a queen bee, the queen. The girls learnt how to name the body parts of an insect, how many legs they have and how insects are different to other creatures. We used our minibeast theme to introduce problem-solving activities in mathematics and to introduce the concept of addition.
Throughout the term, the girls developed key inquiry skills – asking thoughtful questions, making observations, recording findings, and drawing conclusions. They worked together beautifully, showing empathy for living things and a real sense of responsibility for the environment.
A big thank you to the parents for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’re so proud of the curiosity, creativity, and care the girls showed in their learning this term. We look forward to Term 3’s adventures.
This term has been a whirlwind of whistles, goals, and muddy running shoes at Micklefield. Our courageous Grade 1s took on their very first cross-country races across Cape Town, while our seasoned Grade 7s powered through weekly training with determination.
The U10s made their hockey festival debut at Rustenburg, and the U9 netball team shone at Reddam, leaving unbeaten!
From netball and hockey festivals at Herschel and Reddam to skill-sharpening clinics and our spirited inter-house netball tournament, girls from U9 to U13 have shown incredible grit, sportsmanship, and joy.
Even weekend parkruns saw enthusiastic participation from both girls and staff.. We are so proud of every runner, shooter, tackler, and team player. Keep moving, girls, Term 3 is just around the corner.
Interhouse Netball took place on Wednesday 18 June. The matches were played in great spirit by all the girls from Grades 3-7. Swallows were the overall winners with Robins in 2nd place and Kingfishers in 3rd.
Term 2 has been a dynamic and creative time for the Drama Department.
Rehearsals for our Grade 4–7 production, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, are well underway, with the cast meeting on Saturdays and during class drama lessons. We are delighted with the progress so far—nearly six of the nine scenes have already been completed, setting us up for an exciting Term 3.
A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful class reps who are coordinating costumes and to the dedicated staff already working behind the scenes.
In the Foundation Phase, drama lessons have continued with great enthusiasm.
The girls explored character work through role play and storytelling, drawing inspiration from Oliver Jeffers’ colourful crayon books and the timeless tales of Aesop’s Fables.
Both Extra-Mural Drama Groups shone during our recent Drama Showcase Evening. Group 1 took the audience on an imaginative journey across the globe and through time, while Group 2 presented a powerful performance of Careful What You Wish For. This piece was recorded and sent to the Wonderfools theatre group in Scotland, where it was shared as part of their international play festival, Positive Stories for Negative Times.
The grade one girls have had a happy and productive term and have really embraced all their lessons. Our Time2read programme has sparked a real love of reading, and they have made such wonderful progress in learning to read, write and spell.
In Maths we have worked with calculations, story sums and the exciting world of shapes. In keeping with our wonders of nature theme, they went out looking for the shapes that are in nature all around us. The girls really enjoyed discovering shapes in nature and showing them to the class.
Term 2 was bursting with exciting learning experiences, hands-on exploration, and proud achievements for our Grade 2s. One standout moment was the Animal Research Orals, where each girl confidently presented fascinating facts about a chosen creature, from elephants and camels to glass frogs and peacock spiders. Their enthusiasm, detailed research, and creative visual aids made for a captivating experience, and it was a joy to see their communication skills shine.
In Mathematics the girls made impressive progress as they tackled vertical addition and subtraction, with and without regrouping. Using hands-on tools like cubes to build their understanding. They grew in confidence and accuracy, laying a strong foundation for future problem-solving.
To wrap up the term, we enjoyed our nature-themed “Wonders of Nature” Week. This special week included a variety of activities and rotations across the Foundation Phase. The girls engaged in nature-based experiences. It was a celebration of curiosity and creativity, all centred around the incredible natural world we live in. We look forward to seeing what Term 3 will bring us.
This term, our Grade 3s have journeyed back in time to explore the wonders of ancient history.
Their adventure began in the Mesozoic Era, where each girl became an expert on a specific dinosaur, learning all about its features, behaviours, and place in the prehistoric food chain. From towering carnivores to gentle herbivores, the girls explored fossils, meteor impacts, and the extinction theories that ended the dinosaur age.
From there, the journey continued into the Ice Age, where the girls encountered fascinating Ice Age animals such as glyptodonts, liptotons, and sabre-tooth cats.
They also explored how early humans adapted to survive in icy, challenging environments, developing a deeper understanding of life in a very different world.
This term, the Grade 7s hosted a Karaoke Evening for Grades 4-6 on 13 May. It was a great success with an evening full of fun, dancing and singing.
The hall was decorated with fantastic decor done by the Grade 7s. The girls came and sang their choice of song, and the audience cheered, danced and sang along as they watched each talented girl perform. Each girl received a pizza, an ice lolly and juice and had a fun night away from schoolwork, busy partying.
It was really great to come together across the different grades and have a fun night, as well as seeing many of our Micklefield students shine on stage. Well done to the amazing singers, and thank you to everyone who supported us.
Term 2 has flown by in a flurry of rhythm, melody, and exciting musical milestones in our vibrant Music Department.
We were thrilled to welcome Ms Larah Eksteen as our new violin teacher at the beginning of this term, especially with the relaunch of our String Ensemble under her guidance. A special congratulation goes to Mrs Mandy van Wyk, who was selected as part of a small group of choristers to perform in the internationally acclaimed Andrea Bocelli concert with the Cape Town Philharmonia Choir. What an honour.
Our ensembles and soloists have continued to shine, both within and beyond the school. Shocking Pink and the Recorder Ensemble performed at a Bishops Preparatory assembly on two separate occasions. Throughout the term, our own assemblies have featured uplifting performances from the:
and of course, our growing number of confident solo musicians.
Behind the scenes, we’ve caught wind of intriguing rehearsals with the Grade 7 marimba girls and Imilonji… something special is clearly brewing.
Speaking of marimbas, our Grade 6 and 7 players represented Micklefield brilliantly at the annual Marimba Festival at the Baxter Theatre, playing alongside schools from across the province in a joyful celebration of rhythm and collaboration.
Our youngest musicians have also been making their mark. The Music for Minis sessions continue to be a delight, giving our littlest learners a joyful introduction to musical expression.
To round off a successful term, our singing students achieved excellent results at both the live and virtual sections of the Kaapse Afrikaanse Eisteddfod—well done, girls.
Rercorder Ensemble at Bishops
It’s been a term full of harmony, hard work, and heart—and we can’t wait to see what the next one holds.
This term, our first group of Grade 5 and 6 pupils cooked up a storm in the kitchen with a special three-week Father’s Day project.
Their challenge?
To plan a full Braai-Day menu—complete with a handmade gift for Dad. The Grade 5s prepared beautifully bottled Red Pickled Onions, while the Grade 6s made a delicious Fruit Chutney. Each girl labelled and packaged her creation with care, ready to gift on Father’s Day.
To round off the project, the girls had a blast learning how to braai. From flipping burgers to roasting marshmallows for s’mores, the lesson was filled with fun (and mouthwatering smells).
We even treated the teachers to a surprise burger lunch—much to the delight (and curiosity) of the rest of the school. Dads, you officially have a Braai Chef on standby.
On the 20th of May 2025 Laura Botha, Emily de Groot, Noor Bray and Charlotte Brown took part in a chess tournament at Bishops Preparatory School. We drew 3 and lost 4 matches. It was an incredible experience. Hopefully, next term we will have the opportunity to do this again.
Term 2 has been a wonderfully full and exciting one for our Grade 4 girls. In the classroom, they tackled their first formal tests with determination and resilience—what a milestone.
In History, we focused on great leaders such as Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, and extended our learning with a project on inspiring female leaders. This was brought to life through creative adverts and confident orals, and our outing to the Irma Stern Museum offered a special glimpse into the world of a celebrated local artist and leader.
In Maths, long division is no longer a mystery, with most of us getting it right more often than not. The Science Expo was another exciting event, with our budding scientists proudly presenting their work.
A special highlight was decorating toadstool cupcakes—with a Micklefield Old Girl guiding the way and all in Micklefield pink, of course.
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the year—what a journey it’s been so far.
It’s been a wonderfully full and vibrant term in the Grade 5 classroom. In Science, the girls explored the fascinating world of metals and non-metals through hands-on experiments, culminating in a fantastic Science Expo where they proudly showcased their investigations.
In Geography, our focus on minerals and mining was brought to life with a special visit from Mrs Cole, a geologist, who shared her expertise and sparked plenty of curiosity.
Creative energy was also flowing in English, where the girls wrote and illustrated their own stories inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories. Each girl chose an animal and imagined how it got its most distinctive feature. These beautiful handmade booklets will soon be shared with younger grades during storytime—a proud moment for our budding authors and illustrators.
In Science class, students got hands-on whilst investigating solutions and their properties. They made their own homogeneous mixture by creating play dough, which helped them understand how different ingredients can combine to form a uniform substance. The girls also prepared heterogeneous breakfast mixes, combining cereals, nuts, and dried fruits to create tasty snacks whilst learning about mixtures where individual components remain distinct. These practical experiments made the concepts much more tangible and memorable.
The entrepreneur sales project continued to flourish this term, with many groups showing significant improvement in their business skills. Students demonstrated better stock management, more accurate cost calculations, and a clearer understanding of how to generate a profit.
Each business group deserves recognition for their attention to detail and professional presentation of their stands. The quality of their goods was consistently high, and it was impressive to see how the girls balanced creativity with sound business principles. Their progress in understanding the fundamentals of running a business has been quite remarkable.
This term has been a meaningful time of learning and growth for our Grade 7 girls as they continue to rise to the challenges of their final year at Micklefield.
Beyond the classroom, the girls are stepping into their leadership roles with growing assurance, setting an example for younger grades and living out the values of kindness, responsibility, and resilience. We are proud of the grounded, capable young women they are becoming.
Just after the Easter break, Grade 7 had the exciting job of organising an Spring Hat Parade for students from Grades 3 to 7, and it turned out to be a really fun and colourful event.
Everyone who took part made their own Springtime hat, and we were so impressed by the creativity and effort that went into them. There were hats with bunnies, eggs, flowers, chicks, and even a few with balloons.
As the organisers, we (Grade 7s) set up the parade route, made sure everything ran smoothly, and kept the energy up with music, cheering, and fabulous dance moves from Mila. It was awesome to see all the different hats being shown off with so much pride and confidence.
We really enjoyed leading this event and helping to bring the school together for some Easter/Springtime fun. A big well done to all the students who joined in and made their amazing hats. You were the stars of the show.
This term, our Grade 4 to 7 girls had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Tygerberg Art Centre, where they spent a joyful morning exploring new techniques, expressing their creativity, and producing beautiful artworks. The outing was both fun and enriching, giving our girls a chance to experiment, learn, and shine outside the classroom.
We are especially proud that a selection of their artworks was chosen to be showcased in the Tygerberg Art Centre’s annual Schools Art Exhibition—a celebration of young talent from across the region. It was an honour to see Micklefield so well represented among the exhibited pieces.
A huge congratulations to all the girls who took part and to our young artists whose work was selected—your creativity and effort truly stood out.
Term 2 Art Awards
Congratulation to
for receiving an award for creativity, excellent craftsmanship and diligent work in Art. Well done.
In our theme week we had a wonderful visit to the Aquarium and got the opportunity to touch and feel all sorts of rockpool creatures. We also learned about the importance of recycling and had fun making colourful rockets from recycled materials.
Our visit to the Aquarium was an unforgettable highlight of the term. The girls were captivated by the graceful jellyfish, giggled at the penguins’ quirky hairstyles, and stood in awe as sharks glided silently by. It was a day filled with wonder, discovery, and excitement, bringing our ocean-themed learning to life in the most engaging and memorable way.
To bring all their learning to life, the girls visited the Iziko Museum—an exciting outing that rounded off the term beautifully. Armed with curiosity and clipboards, they embarked on a treasure hunt to find real-life relics and exhibits that reflected their in-class discoveries. It was a day filled with awe and wonder, perfectly capping off a term of adventure and imagination.
Our Grade 3s embraced every moment with enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy—it’s been a term to remember!
The Grade 3s had a splash-tastic time on their outing to the Aquarium! Wide-eyed with wonder, the girls explored the magical world beneath the waves—marvelling at the graceful jellyfish, colourful clownfish, and majestic turtles. They were especially fascinated by the sharks and giggled at the penguins waddling about in their tuxedo-like feathers. The outing tied in beautifully with their marine studies, bringing classroom learning to life in the most exciting way. It was a day filled with curiosity, discovery, and a deeper appreciation for the creatures of the sea.
Micklefield School held a Science Expo for the Grade 4, 5, 6 and 7 girls. This was presented to the Grade 4 and 5 parents on Tuesday, 17 June, and the Grade 6 and 7 parents on Wednesday, 18 June.
All of the Grade 4-7 girls had to come up with an idea that interested us and produce an experiment based on our idea. The experiments were wonderful and everyone did an excellent job of showing and explaining what they did. There were amazing experiments that varied from ‘How to Make Recycled Soccer Balls’ to ‘Which Cookie Tastes the Best’. During this period, we have learnt many new, interesting things and how to prepare concise scientific investigations.
It was really delightful to see what all the girls came up with. You could see how much work they put into making their amazing experiments. Well done to everyone!
The girls should be proud of their outstanding effort at the Science Expo showcase. They engaged meaningfully with the scientific process, demonstrating genuine curiosity and intellectual rigour as they delved thoughtfully into relevant and compelling topics. Most impressive was the confidence with which they presented their findings, showcasing not only their deep understanding of their research but also their ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and persuasively.
Our youngest students have been enthusiastically exploring the digital world this term.
Grade 1s have started their computer journey using both desktops and iPads, diving into Minecraft Education and meeting digital safety hero “Guts” as part of their digital citizenship learning.
In Grade 2, the girls created their very first presentations on Canva and honed their typing skills with Typing Club. They’ve also begun exploring basic Scratch coding and continued their Minecraft lessons to build confidence with both iPads and keyboards.
Grade 3s enjoyed designing posters, developing their typing fluency, learning about computer components, and having fun with Scratch coding. Their current project involves building imaginative Minecraft worlds based on their group’s chosen mascot, combining creativity and collaboration.
The Grade 4s have been hard at work coding stories in Scratch to explore the concept of digital citizenship. They also created AI-generated images in Canva, which they then brought to life through creative storytelling. Typing skills are steadily improving, and they are now designing Theme Parks in an Ice Biome using Minecraft Education—a chilly but exciting challenge.
Grade 5s have continued with Scratch coding and typing development. They’ve taken collaboration to a new level with a thrilling Minecraft build team challenge: students were given a few minutes to plan their builds and divide responsibilities, and from that point on, all communication had to happen through Minecraft’s in-game chat feature. Timed check-ins allowed for brief strategy updates—a true test of planning, teamwork, and digital communication.
Grade 6s have been diving deep into Scratch coding, Canva Hack presentations, and Micro:bit coding. They even created videos showcasing their Micro:bit projects using platforms like Canva, CapCut, and iMovie. All the while, they’ve been sharpening their typing skills and growing in confidence.
In Grade 7, the girls continued to develop their skills with both Scratch and Micro:bit. Their concept-driven interactive presentations and Micro:bit video creations reflected both technical knowledge and creative storytelling.
This term marked a new chapter for our Grade 4–7 students as they completed their first-ever formal Coding & Robotics tests and examinations—an exciting step in their growing digital literacy journey.
Our Coding Club has been experimenting with Lego Spike Prime, diving into coding challenges that focus on using colour and distance sensors. This hands-on experience has added an exciting, problem-solving element to their learning and sparked some brilliant innovation among our young tech enthusiasts.
It’s been a dynamic and inspiring term across all grades in the Computer Lab. We are so proud of the progress our girls are making—and we look forward to what the next chapter of their digital journey will bring.
Our Lit Quiz girls have been ensuring they do their 20 minutes and more of reading every day. We are incredibly proud of them as they fared so well in the 2nd Term Lit Quiz held at WGJS. The competition was stiff against 20 teams but our Grade 7 team impressed us and came in 7th and our Grade 6s 12th. Keep reading girls the winter holiday is the perfect time to snuggle up with a wonderful book.
On the 7th of May 2025, the Micklefield Debate Team participated in a debate at The Grove. The Micklefield debate team was as follows: Asmaa, first speaker; Joanna, second speaker and Alexa, third speaker. Noor was the timekeeper.
The motion being debated was “It should be compulsory for healthy adults to donate blood.”
We were competing against Zwaanswyk. They were proposing the motion, and Micklefield was opposing it. The debate went well overall, and both teams had strong arguments. The adjudicators were impressed with our points and preparation. Our whole team spoke clearly and stayed within the time limits.
In the end, the judges gave us useful feedback and said they were impressed by both teams. Sadly, we did not win the debate, but Joanna did win ‘best speaker’. In the end, it was a great experience and it definitely helped us to build our confidence and speaking skills.
We kicked off Term 2 with an unforgettable camp at Wortelgat on the Hermanus Estuary. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the girls threw themselves into every adventure—kayaking, fynbos frolics, night walks, games, and singing under the stars around the campfire. It was a wonderful opportunity to bond, explore, and make lasting memories.
Later in the term, the Grade 4s visited the Irma Stern Museum for a meaningful and creative outing.
“On the 5th of June the grade 4s went to the Irma Stern art museum. I liked the outing because we got to walk through her garden. We also got to make portraits of each other. That was so much fun! Irma Stern was born on the 11th of November 1894. She died on the 23rd of August 1966. Irma said she will never change the canvas. Even though Irma was German Jewish she did not care what religion you were. She would paint anyone that she thought looked beautiful or interesting. It felt amazing to know that a famous artist had lived here a while ago. The first room we went to was called How I Began to Paint. This room was full of beautiful sketches that Irma made. We went to a few other rooms, I learned so much there. Irma’s art has a very bold and vibrant use of colours. We also saw her front door which is from Zanzibar. It has some Arabic writing and African carving. The door was made of wood. Irma loved to travel, she travelled in Southern Africa, Zanzibar, The Congo, Portugal, Germany and the south of France. Irma got the house as a wedding gift from her parents. Irma had a niece whose name was Barbara Stern, and she painted her. Irma Stern was 72 years old when she died. Irma Stern’s style of painting is not fully realistic. She also uses green and red in the faces of her portraits. This was one of my favourite outings. “
It was a special experience that brought art, history, and creativity together—and left the girls inspired by the legacy of one of South Africa’s most iconic artists.
The term kicked off with a bang as the Grade 5s headed off to Waterval Country Lodge for their much-anticipated camp. It was a whirlwind of adventure—part Survivor, part Amazing Race, and part marshmallow-eating marathon. The girls threw themselves into every challenge, from team-building tasks and muddy obstacle courses to waterfall swims and campfire sing-alongs. Laughter echoed through the valleys, and new friendships took root amid toasted marshmallows and wild camp hairstyles. It was, without a doubt, a highlight of the year.
Later in the term, our budding geologists put their knowledge into practice on an exciting trip to Mineral World in Simon’s Town. They examined and collected semi-precious stones, explored rock formations, and even squeezed in a fun round of Cave Golf. The outing brought their Geography lessons to life in the most colourful way.
“On the 19th of July, the Grade 5 class went to Mineral World, and we really enjoyed everything from the bus ride there to the Cave Mini Golf.
On the bus in my group, we played lots of songs and sang along. Then we saw the rocks being pressurised, heated and sorted into sizes. After seeing the rocks, we went into the Dark room, where we saw glow-in-the-dark rocks. When the lights were on, the rocks looked like stones you would find in your garden! We also saw a lady making jewellery.
Then half of the class went to the Scratch Patch and the other half went to play Cave Mini Golf. I went to the Scratch Patch first. In the Scratch Patch, there were lots of pretty rocks, and there was even a small river. In the Cave Mini Golf, there were lots of different courses to play. The balls glowed in the dark too! Afterwards, we saw huge geodes and cool bracelets and earrings. I loved going to Mineral World!”
The pupils began their journey through ‘Medicine through Time’ by exploring traditional remedies and discovering how early generations approached healthcare. They traced the development of Western medicine, examining how medical practice evolved from early folk remedies to modern healthcare.
The highlight of their medical studies was undoubtedly the visit to the Heart Museum. This proved to be a real show-stopper, as students explored the life, achievements, and lasting impact of Christiaan Barnard, the pioneering South African surgeon who performed the world’s first human heart transplant. The museum visit brought Barnard’s groundbreaking work to life, giving pupils a genuine appreciation for medical innovation and the courage required to push boundaries in healthcare.
In the last week of school, Micklefield came alive with curious minds and nature’s beauty as we celebrated our Theme Week: The Wonders of Nature (23–27 June).
From hands‑on explorations in the garden and nature art inspired by seasonal colours, to civvies day mid‑week in true eco‑spirit, the girls have immersed themselves in ecological wonder.
Through outdoor role‑play, wildlife studies with the Aquarium, and classroom discussions about ecosystems and conservation, our students gained a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
The grade 4-7s started Nature Week with an insightful and inspiring presentation by Emma-Beth Peters. We learned so many new words, facts and were shown how to look more closely in nature and spot the incredible patterns and habitats that the Earth has created for us, from fairy circles to kelp forests to learning about biodiversity to how two animals can work together to help produce the natural world we know today. I am sure that everyone who listened has learned a huge amount and can spread this to others to help shape the new generation in nature.
Later that day, the grade 4-7 girls were given a presentation by Whitney from the 2 Oceans Aquarium. She taught us about the amazing species of penguins and how we can save them! We learnt about all the different body features, the different types and how we can save them and teach future generations to care for these birds. I think that we all learnt so much from her, and it was extremely insightful to get to know so much more about animals that live so close to us all.
The week wrapped up with a cheerful sense of connection—both to each other and to our planet—just in time for term’s end on Friday.
As we wrap up a vibrant and fulfilling Term 2, we are so proud of all the learning, growth, and joyful moments shared across the grades. From exciting outings and creative workshops to sporting achievements and artistic expression, it’s been a term to remember.
Term 3 promises even more excitement as we turn our attention to the much-anticipated Intersen Phase Production, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Here’s to another inspiring term ahead—filled with learning, laughter, and a touch of Micklefield Magic.
