• Reception Shepreth Wildlife Park School Trip

  The Reception children had a fantastic time visiting Shepreth Wildlife Park this week! We spent some time exploring the park, getting to see lots of animals, birds, reptiles and insects, and venturing into the bat cave which was one of the children's favourite parts of the day. The children had the opportunity to explore the ‘Isandbox’, an interactive sand pit that allowed the children to explore the seasons and a variety of animals, as well as building a 'log pile' house using logs and a variety of animals and insects. The children demonstrated Millfield school values excellently and made all staff and volunteers exceptionally proud of their resilience in the wet conditions!
