• Message from Mrs Kennedy-Weeks:

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  It was fantastic to celebrate the end of a busy half term today with Friendship Ladders this morning and our Award Assembly this afternoon. We are very proud of Millfield children for their motivation and engagement in learning this half term. Over the last few weeks, children have enjoyed a range of cross-curricular learning; from sports festivals and historical workshops to visitors in school, children have had a range of opportunities to apply their learning. It was great to see so many parents/carers during consultations this week. It was lovely to share how children have settled into a new school year and have already started to make progress.

  It was lovely seeing all the children and staff at Millfield wearing yellow. Our KS1 and KS2 children had an assembly that focused on young people’s mental health and how we can look after our own mental health, as well as our physical health. In classes, the children have been challenged to complete 3 tasks:

  1. Say something kind to someone
  2. Wave and smile at a friend
  3. Tell a joke to try to make someone laugh!
