• Year 4 Learning Outside the Classroom

  Thu 07 May 2026

  Year 4 had fun looking at positive and negative features of a natural habitat in Buntingford this morning. They identified that litter, people walking on verges and graffiti all have a negative impact and that plants, the river, trees and wildlife are all positive features in a habitat.

• Year 4 Ash class

  Wed 06 May 2026

  Year 4 Ash class stepped back in time this week as they explored the natural dyes used by the Anglo-Saxons. Inspired by these traditional methods, they experimented with modern-day natural ingredients including turmeric, beetroot and blackberries to create their own vibrant colours.

   

  There was lots of excitement as they dyed their cloths and discovered the different shades each ingredient produced. It’s safe to say it was great fun, especially as the colours didn’t just stay on the fabric, but on their hands too!

• 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.’
