• Year 2 Microhabitats Learning:

  Fri 01 May 2026

  As part of their learning about microhabitats, Year 2 children explored the school environment and discovered many dandelions growing. The children thought this would be a great learning opportunity and decided to make dandelion “honey” as part of their work. They thoroughly enjoyed the process and loved tasting the final product. The children were very proud of what they had made and can highly recommend this recipe!

  

• Collaborative Work:

  Fri 01 May 2026

  We were delighted to recently welcome the headteacher from Tannery Drift First School to Millfield as part of our local school collaboration.

   

  During the visit, the headteacher made some wonderful observations about our school. She commented that ‘on-task behaviour is phenomenal’ and that ‘expectations are so explicit and consistent, this helps all children to thrive and feel confident to discuss their learning.’

• 🦆Reception Duckling Visit:

  Fri 24 Apr 2026

  Reception were very fortunate to have the opportunity to welcome some baby ducklings into class. The children were very excited and sat beautifully as we learned all about the life cycle of a duck. We even had the chance to stroke the ducklings and handled them with care. This has been an excellent opportunity for the children to enhance their current learning all about life cycles and new life.

  
  A big thank you to Miss Howard for making this happen and for teaching us some new facts about ducklings! 

  

• 🌟Year 4 team building:

  Fri 24 Apr 2026

  Year 4 enjoyed the first half of their team‑building activities today, focusing on key skills, such as resilience, perseverance, communication and collaboration. They worked in teams to build the tallest possible free‑standing tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows, where effective teamwork was the main goal. The children impressed us with their creative structures (and learned that triangles are the strongest shape!) while demonstrating excellent listening, cooperation and support for one another. Everyone showed great responsibility during the clean‑up, a fantastic effort all round.
