• 🏐 Year 3 Netball

  Fri 24 Apr 2026

  This half term, Year 3 have started netball lessons and they are already showing great enthusiasm. We would like to thank the Sports Partnership for coming into school to coach the children and support the development of their skills.

   

  During the sessions, children are learning and practising key netball skills, such as passing, footwork, shooting, positioning, teamwork and communication. As their confidence grows, they will also have the opportunity to play small-sided matches, allowing them to apply what they have learned in a fun and supportive environment.

   

  We are really looking forward to seeing Year 3 continue to develop their netball skills over the coming weeks.

  

• 🎶Folk Band Concerts

  Fri 24 Apr 2026

  This week, Millfield children were delighted to enjoy two live performances by folk duo Megson. Stu played guitar and mandolin alongside Debbie on accordion and kazoo, providing lively accompaniment to their beautiful vocal harmonies. The concerts were highly interactive, with children enthusiastically joining in, singing along and quickly learning the actions to Megson’s songs.

   

  You can listen to a sample of their music using the links below:
