• All positioned!

  Tue 24 Nov 2020

  There has been a real buzz about the school today as we all immersed ourselves in the world of construction! We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing our modular building being constructed. 

  
  All six modular sections are now in position! 
   

  

• 3 sections in position!

  Tue 24 Nov 2020

  We currently have three of the six modular sections positioned and have three to go. The constructors are on schedule and have been very accommodating in supporting Millfield in utilising this as a learning experience.

   

  For videos of the process please look on our school Facebook page. 

  

• A hive of activity!

• NEW CLASSROOMS

  Tue 24 Nov 2020

  We are very excited to see the 6 components of our 2 new classrooms arrive today!
   

  They will arrive on lorries and will be fitted during the school day so Millfield children will have the opportunity to see, themselves, how a modular building is constructed. This experience will be used in all elements of learning for the morning across the school.  
   

  We will continue to add more photographs of the progress over the day!

  

• Anti Bullying Week

  Wed 18 Nov 2020

  Today everyone at Millfield wore odd socks for Anti Bullying Week. The children had an assembly and discussed what bullying is. At Millfield we are proud to celebrate that everyone is different and differences are a positive thing!

   

   

  

• Children in Need Day

  Fri 13 Nov 2020

  We all enjoyed dressing in sportswear today to celebrate and fundraise for ‘Children in Need’.
   

  Many children arrived at school this morning to be greeted by Joe Wicks, who was virtually teaching a PE lesson to end his 24 hour PE challenge! Staff and children thoroughly enjoyed joining in.

   

  Thank you for all donations received to support this fantastic charity. 

  

• Youth Sport Trust

  Fri 13 Nov 2020

  Every weekday at 5pm until the end of term (18 December), the Youth Sports Trust are running a 30-minute online club for all children and young people to do some sport, develop skills and, most importantly, have fun!

   

  The After School Sport Club will be led by Athlete Mentors from different backgrounds, abilities and sports. The first session will take place on Thursday 12 November at 5pm, with the world’s number one female inline skater and ten times British Champion, Jenna Downing.

   

  Every day at 5pm from 16 November until 18 December, children and young people can join in with the live broadcast for free on their YouTube channel. Join in the conversation on social using #YSTAfterSchool and tagging @YouthSportTrust across all social media channels. You might need items from around your home for some sessions, but they’ll give some ideas ahead of each club to adapt if you don’t have these items. 

  The different daily themes are below:

  • Adventure Monday – This might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room
  • Tuesday Play – Imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active
  • Wild Wednesday – Some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges
  • Thinking Thursday – Introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends
  • Fun Friday – A chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.

  
  For more information please go to the Youth Sport Trust website page: https://www.youthsporttrust.org/ 

   

  We hope that many of our Millfield families will enjoy joining in. Please let us know if you do!
