At St Michael’s , we are committed to enriching our curriculum in alignment with our mission statement, ‘Holding God’s Hand, we nurture hearts, minds, and spirits’. Through a range of curriculum enrichment activities, we strive to deepen our children’s understanding and appreciation of their faith while fostering intellectual curiosity and creativity. Our approach integrates spiritual growth with academic excellence, ensuring a well-rounded education that prepares our students to embrace challenges with compassion and resilience. Through engaging activities and tailored programs, we empower our students to explore, learn, and flourish in a nurturing Catholic environment.
The best place to keep up to date with our curriculum enrichment activities is our school Twitter/X account, which you can see below.
Year 2 have been exploring observational drawings today during our provision time. They have been focusing on drawing what they can see and experimenting with creating different textures. @STOC_CAT
Odd one out! We have been applying what we know about properties of materials and discussing which is the odd one out and giving our reasons. @STOC_CAT #STMICSCIENCE
In provision today Year 2 have been observing which materials are waterproof. They have tested how many drops of water each material can hold to stay waterproof. @STOC_CAT #STMICSCIENCE

In music we have been learning Abba songs to sing and play to. We also learnt about how music was different in the past and that records were a way to play your favourite songs at home. The children were fascinated by the record player and LP. #stmicmusic #stmichistory
Art- Year 4 used charcoal to make a background. We crumbled some up, dropped it onto the page and got our fingers dirty spreading it out. We then used artist's putty to rub away the shapes we were observing. Fun. #stmicsart #kapowart
