Year 6 will be visiting Reading Museum on Thursday 19th June 2025 to learn all about Huntley and Palmers. Children will take part in a local history study and discover how the famous biscuit manufacturer, Huntley & Palmers, changed Victorian Reading from 1822 to 1900. Children will explore significant events, people and places and will work with a range of sources, such as maps, objects, film and photographs, to understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed.
Year 3 Ancient Egyptian Day - Children are allowed to dress up in Egyptian attire. Please see description on your Weduc app.

As L.E.A.F. will take place no matter the weather, it is essential that children are dressed appropriately. Children are invited to wear their L.E.A.F. clothes to school to reduce time spent changing. Children will need to bring their uniform to change into for the rest of the day. This is particularly important as they may get wet during their session and we want them to change into warm, dry clothing for the rest of their day.
Layers and OLD clothing are great for L.E.A.F. lessons as it is likely the children will get wet and muddy. Here is a list of suggested clothing for your child to wear for their sessions:
- wellies, walking boots or old trainers
-thick socks of 2 pairs of thinner socks
- old jogging bottoms or leggings (2 pairs of leggings if cold)
- Long sleeved t-shirt (2 if cold)
- fleece or jumper
- waterproofs if rain is forecast
-hat, scarf, gloves
The children can come to school dressed as pirates!
At Micklands Primary School, our pupils, families, staff and governors share one vision: to be even better tomorrow than we are today.
As a diverse learning community, we work collaboratively to provide the very best for children, ensuring each individual can develop happily as an excellent learner, full of curiosity and wonder, underpinned by the confidence that comes from acquiring new knowledge, skills and understanding.
Through a rich and carefully planned curriculum, we are able to provide pupils with a range of exciting and stimulating learning experiences. This provision enables them to develop confidence as learners, whilst making good progress academically, socially and emotionally.
At Micklands everyone, child and adult, is treated with respect and compassion. We have clear boundaries and expectations because these are vital for children to feel safe. This ethos enables children to thrive, developing as rounded individuals who care for others, their school and the wider world.
We cannot hope to tell you about our school in a few pages on a website or answer all your questions, but we hope that what you see here will inspire you to visit us and see for yourself Micklands’ wonderful, nurturing learning environment and beautiful grounds.
