  Millfield has had a very busy and productive Spring Term! It was a delight to celebrate the achievements and efforts of children within our end of term assemblies this week. Millfield children should all be very proud of their successes this term.

  Millfield PTA:

  A big thank you to Millfield PTA for organising Easter egg hunts for children and for generously providing a tasty Easter gift to Millfield children! It was planned for the Easter egg hunt to follow the Award Assembly on Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, due to a sudden downpour of rain very few classes could complete their hunt outside. As a result, some classes enjoyed inside Easter egg hunts, whilst others patiently waited and enjoyed the activity today. A further thanks to the PTA for their support during a busy end of term afternoon!    

   

  Friendship Ladders:

  On Thursday, KS1 and KS2 children mixed groups across the school to create pieces of spring related art and craft together.

   

  Big Band Performance:

  What a fabulous experience for Millfield children and staff to watch Freman ‘Big Band’ students perform this week – many of whom were previously Millfield students! We not only got the watch and listen to a range of songs being performed, we also heard from students about their love of music; we found out all about the instruments they played and also their next steps as musicians.
