• Weekly Parent/Carer Information - Week Commencing: 26th June 2023

  Fri 23 Jun 2023

  Sports Mornings As shared in the letter sent out, we aim to start the sports mornings at 9:15am. After dropping your child off at their classroom door at the normal time, please make your way to the field where you can wait for the classes to arrive. Alternatively, you may want to leave the school site and return for the 9:15am start; if arriving for the start time, please access the school site via the Monks Walk Field Pedestrian Gate.   The sports equipment will be set-up so we are ready to go as soon as the classes arrive. Please do not allow any younger siblings to play with the equipment that has been set up for the sports activities.   For your child’s sports morning, please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit. In addition, as always, they will need their water bottle and sunhat. Dependent on the weather, please ensure they are wearing sun cream.   Key Stage 1 and 2 Sports Mornings: The children will compete in 8 timed activities within their house groups. The activities will demonstrate speed, catching, dribbling/shooting and throwing skills. After 6 minutes, a bell will ring to signify the end of each of the activities. Scores will be recorded and teams will move onto the next activity until all house groups have completed all events. As a finale, all children will have the opportunity to take part in a flat race.   EYFS Sports Mornings: The EYFS children will take part in a range of fun sporting activities that they have been enjoying within their PE lessons. After these activities, all children will have the opportunity to take part in a flat race.   After all the sports mornings have taken place, we will count up the scores and share the winning house!

• Strike Action Impact:

  Fri 23 Jun 2023

  As you may be aware, the National Education Union intend to carry out further days of strike action. The dates are: 5^th July 2023 and 7^th July 2023.

   

  We are working with staff to establish the impact on teaching and learning of any strike action taken by teachers. We will be following guidance from the Department for Education and the Local Authority.

   

  Similarly to other schools, Millfield may not be running as normal on these days. We anticipate being able to provide a full update to parents/carers in due course.

   

  Due to the likely impact of strike days, we have looked at scheduled events and have made the following change:

  • Elm Class Assembly scheduled for Wednesday 5^th July will now take place on Friday 14^th July at 9:05am.

   

  Thank you for your understanding at this time.

• Message from Millfield PTA: Summer Event Postponed

  Fri 16 Jun 2023

  The PTA had an ambitious calendar this year from the Christmas Fair, Movie Nights, School Discos and a Quiz Night. These events have been a real success and we would like to thank all involved for their support in raising funds for Millfield. Unfortunately, due to personal and professional commitments, the PTA are postponing the Summer Colour Run/Fair. This event is still planned for 2023, but not within this academic year. The PTA hope to confirm a September event date in due course. Please note, information will be shared with the current Year 4 parents/carers should current Year 4 children wish to attend. Thank you for your understanding. As always, if you would like to be part of Millfield PTA and/or help organise events, please contact the PTA (Alex, Becky or Emma, Millfield PTA members).
