Rafferty (Year 5) is yet again showing his exceptional talent for ballet, performing the role of Mamilius in the Royal Opera House production of The Winter’s Tale He was fortunate enough to be invited to do the curtain call at the end of the opening night standing alongside the main company cast and Principal Dancers (a rare opportunity for children, so a special moment). Rafferty has received very positive feedback on his role and he even had a brief mention in the Telegraph’s review of the ballet.
On Wednesday 22nd May, The Winter’s Tale will be live streaming to many local cinemas across the UK. Rafferty will be on stage that night with his cast, enabling friends and family to take the opportunity to see him perform. Please use the link to book tickets; https://www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-events/the-winters-tale-in-cinemas-details.
As ever, St Michael’s is so proud of Rafferty and his ever-increasing list of achievements and we look forward to watching the performance on Wednesday.

After winning the ISA National Dance Competition last November with their lyrical piece to the song Changes, the St Michael’s dance troupe were invited to attend the ISA Annual Conference in Birmingham this week to perform it again in front of Headteachers attending from all over the country. It was a prestigious ask as there were only three other performances alongside our own. We received many lovely comments about the children who had travelled for hours to and from Birmingham and performed brilliantly.
Thanks so much to Miss Cook and her dancers. Well done!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Another great example of Prep and Pre-Prep pupils working together this time enjoying place value maths games.
Year 1 pupils had to make a random 2, 3 or 4 digit number and then with help from Year 4 children, use place value blocks to recreate that number on screen.
Encouraging cross-year learning has many benefits; instilling confidence in Prep children to ‘teach’ their younger peers, life skills such as patience and kindness and for our younger pupils, it gives them the chance to try new types of learning with 121 guidance from older pupils.
