Micklefield School

🌸 Women’s Day 🌸

This Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who inspire, lead, nurture and create change in the world around us. Today, we celebrate the women who paved the way, the women who lead beside us, and the girls who will shape the world of tomorrow.

At Micklefield, we have the privilege of watching young girls grow into confident, compassionate and courageous young women.

Here’s to raising women who are ready to lead, to serve, to inspire and to make their mark. Happy Women’s Day from the Micklefield family!

Grade 3 Showcase

What a wonderful morning celebrating our Grade 3 girls and all they have been learning!

Our girls proudly shared their knowledge, creativity and hard work with their parents, giving them a special glimpse into the busy and exciting world of Grade 3.

It was great to see their confidence shine as they shared their learning with such pride. We are proud of each and every one of them.

Our Grade 2 girls are developing an important lifelong skill as they learn to write in cursive. More than just beautiful handwriting, cursive strengthens fine motor skills, improves hand-eye coordination, supports reading and spelling, and helps build confidence as young writers.

With every carefully formed letter and connected word, they’re developing patience, perseverance, and the foundations for fluent writing. It’s wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they master this exciting milestone, one loop and swirl at a time.

Preparing girls for life, one letter at a time.

Amagama Fees (Language Festival)
What an incredible celebration of language, culture and creativity we have had during Amagama Fees this week.

From inspiring author visits and performances to music, art, activities and moments of exploring different languages. Our girls have embraced the beauty and diversity of words and stories and it has been wonderful to see them celebrate Afrikaans and isiXhosa.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this week such a memorable experience.

Learning through creativity

Our Grade 1 girls have been working hard today developing their phonics and reading skills through fun and engaging activities, following the adventures of a small snail. They have been exploring sounds, building confidence with words and strengthening their reading skills, all while getting creative and enjoying the learning journey.

It is wonderful to see the girls discovering the joy of reading and growing into confident little learners. Well done, Grade 1s.

📚✨ Celebrating the Magic of Language ✨📚

We kicked off our language celebration this week with a very special visit from author Bianca Flanders.

Our Grade 00–3 girls were delighted to meet Bianca and step into the wonderful world of her Pumpkin book series. She brought her story ‘Pumpkin and the Hidden Heroes’ to life, capturing the girls’ imaginations as they listened, laughed and explored the power of being an everyday superhero.

A huge thank you to Bianca for sharing her love of reading and reminding our girls that every story has the power to inspire, teach and bring us together. Here’s to celebrating language, creativity and the joy of books!

🌈✏️ Little hands, big learning!

Our Grade 00 girls were hard at work today developing a range of important foundation skills through fun, creative activities. From strengthening their fine motor skills and practising their pincer grip to improving their pencil grip and colour recognition, every activity was carefully designed to support their growth and development.

The best part? Learning happened through play, creativity and plenty of smiles! Watching the girls build confidence while exploring, creating and having fun is what early learning is all about. 💕✨
