  Hello Yellow Day/World Mental Health Day:

  It was lovely seeing all the children and staff at Millfield wearing yellow. Our KS1 and KS2 children had an assembly that focused on young people’s mental health and how we can look after our own mental health, as well as our physical health. Together we focussed on how to calm our bodies down with focussed breathing.

  Harvest Celebrations

  Our Harvest celebrations this week have highlighted the importance of sharing with others who are not so fortunate. A huge thank you to our whole school community for donating so generously to Buntingford Food Bank. It was a pleasure to welcome Emma, a representative from the Food Bank, to enjoy an assembly with us. Emma thanked the children and shared how your kind donations will support others in and around Buntingford.

   

  It is hard to believe that children have only been in their new year groups for just over a month! They have settled with confidence, kindness and motivation. This was highlighted within Year 4 class assemblies this week where our Year 4 children performed fantastic Harvest assemblies to their parents/carers. Children sang with confidence, shared their learning with pride and kept the audiences entertained. Well done Year 4 children!

  Parent/Carer Workshop

  Thank you to all the parents/carers who attended the workshop this week which focused on ‘How to support your Year 1 child with reading and the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.’

   

  Friendship Ladders

  The week has come to an end with our Friendship Ladders event where children have come together and enjoyed working in mixed aged groupings to learn all about safe networks. This is known as ‘Protective Behaviours’. Children have talked about trusted adults and how these adults will listen and help them whenever they have a worry/concern and/or a problem. Children also learnt about Childline, as well as actions to help them remember the Childline phone number: 0800 1111.
