  As we reach the end of the Autumn Term at Millfield, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the many achievements and memorable moments that have made this term so special.

   

  In today's assembly, I asked the children to reflect on their favourite moments from this term.  It was a pleasure to hear their enthusiasm as they shared their highlights, which included unforgettable experience days, engaging food technology lessons, the joy of making new friends and the pride of earning house tokens for demonstrating our school values.  These moments encapsulate the positive and vibrant spirit of our school community.

   

  Last week's Playground Christmas Carols were a resounding success!  It was a pleasure to see so many parents and carers join us for this festive event.  It was a great experience for Key Stage 1 and 2 children to sing together, surrounded by such a large and supportive audience.  Your presence added to the festive cheer!

   

  A special thank you to the Millfield PTA for organising the Christmas Fair last week.  The event was a tremendous success, and we are grateful to everyone who attended or generously contributed.  Thanks to your support, the PTA raised an impressive total of £2100, which will go towards enhancing the educational experiences of our children.

   

  We look forward to seeing you all on Monday 8^th January 2024 for the start of the Spring term.  Please look out on Friday 5^th January 2024 for the Latest News for the first week back.

   

  All staff at Millfield wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  What a fantastic week it has been at our school! The Nursery and Reception Nativity performances were a true delight. It was lovely to welcome parents and carers to these performances where the children impressed us all with their wonderful singing and acting skills.

   

  The Christmas dinner day was a blast! The children thoroughly enjoyed their festive lunch with friends and Millfield staff. Thank you to Herts Catering Limited for providing this lovely opportunity for our children.

   

  The Art Faculty had a challenge to select just one piece of artwork from each class for the Art Competition this half term. Well done to the winners who were announced this week, their artwork is proudly displayed in our Art Gallery in the hall.

   

  The Friendship ladder Christmas craft activities were a big hit! It's clear the children had a fantastic time working with a range of children from across the school to explore and create Christmas decorations.

   

  Congratulations to all the children who participated in the PTA Christmas colouring competition. The winners were announced in the Award Assemblies this morning.

   

  This afternoon, we're excited to share our Playground Christmas carols with you. Following that, we have the PTA Christmas Fair to look forward to. A huge thank you to the PTA for their hard work and commitment to our school. We look forward to welcoming the school community to this event.
