• Fiddle Toys (known as ‘learning tools’ at Millfield):

  Fri 10 Mar 2023

  Recently, we have become aware that children are bringing in fiddle toys from home. We are noticing that there is a competitive element that can disrupt learning. As a school, we are aware of children that benefit from using learning tools within class and how the correct use of the tools can improve learning. We have a selection of suitable school learning tools that we have chosen purposely to be small, unobtrusive and quiet. The children identified are supported with these by their teacher. Please do not allow your child to bring any toys, including fiddle toys, into school from home.
