WELCOME BACK!
We can’t wait to see you all enjoying your new classrooms and teachers!
A special warm welcome to the new members of the St Michael’s family joining us in Reception and Nursery. We ask for God’s blessing on them and pray that they feel loved and treasured as members of our academy.
Thank you to all of our wonderful parents and carers who always put a great value on school and education. We hope you have enjoyed a fun summer with your children and are now ready to wave them off on the 4th September! All of the staff have all been very busy over the holidays preparing for the new academic year both in the classrooms and around school.
Children, we know that your family members will have helped you continue using our Gospel values over the summer holiday. For example; treating everyone with respect, being grateful and generous, loving and compassionate. We will help you more with these value this term.
But for the start of term, look forward to being on time and in school every day, praising our Lord in work, play and prayer, wearing the correct uniform and working hard in class (and giggling lots at play times!) so that you develop all those wonderful skills God has blessed you with.
We hope the sun shines in September again for more fun learning!
Well done to Mrs Bowen, Mrs Cattell, Mrs Tudor, Mrs Visentin and Mrs Wilkinson who all ran the Birmingham 10k on Sunday 30th April for Birmingham Children’s Hospital. #PowerTeamRosie raised over £8500 for Ward 15 and would like to thank you all for your sponsorship. A photo of the Whole team can be found here.
A big thank you to parents for sponsoring our youngest children for their sponsored scoot on Friday 28th April. Together, they have raised over £150 for our Lenten charity ‘Father Hudson’s Care’ which will be presented at the annual Mass on 19th May. The children did so well on their scooters and were so proud to show their skills by doing 5 or 10 laps of our playground! Well done everyone.
St. Michael’s Athletics Team put on a powerful performance to qualify in first place for the City finals in January. Both girls and boys were on top form in all disciplines to claim victory. With a team made up from years four, five and six, competing against predominantly year 6 competitors, it made the success even more exceptional. Well done to all concerned and again a huge thank you to parents for your continued support in our competitive endeavours.
Year 1 & Year 2 have made an excellent start to their new maths scheme. You may have heard them talking about Singapore Maths or ‘Maths, No Problem’. A curriculum 2014 endorsed way to ensure early confidence in mathematical concepts. All St Michael’s and SS Mary and John’s staff attended a full training day on 6th September 2016 allowing us to plan ahead for each year another cohort beginning to use this fantastic scheme.

On Friday 18th March 2016, our Sport Relief fundraising was bought to a brilliant close as Donald Brown joined us to share his inspiration in sport as well as his artisitc talents.
Thanks to Mr Landa, St Michael’s now proudly own a beautiful framed print of Donald Brown’s fantastic sculpture titled ‘A Sporting chance for Peace’
Another first for our Academy – SS Mary and John’s with St. Michael’s jointly entered the City athletics multi skills competition. Such was the pool of talent, we entered two teams of 10 (5 boys/ 5 girls) to compete. Jude, Nathan, Shay, Calvin,Brodey, Millie, Thelma, Tia, Gabriella and Holly were on one mixed team. Faye, Kareena, Gracie, Niamh, Keira, Tarell, Gareth, Tegan, Aidan and Jake were the other team. The children competed fantastically across a number of disciplines from sprinting, throwing, jumping and speed bounce! Everyone gave their all and when the final results were tallied, we finished 1st and 5th respectively. A massive achievement considering they had never worked together before. Mrs Dawes was extremely proud of all the kids and supported them throughout the competition. A massive thank you to all parents and family for helping with transport, it was really appreciated.
The week ended with even more success, with the football team putting 7 past Woodthorne Primary without reply. Nathan got the first and hotshot Declan weighed in with 6 more! That’s 64 goals in 5 games with none conceded, a record for the Academy.
