• 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.’
