Message from Mrs Kennedy-Weeks
Fri 15 Dec 2023What 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.
