✨Year 4 Local Walk

Fri 20 Mar 2026

Our Year 4 children and staff enjoyed a brilliant visit to the Co‑Op in Buntingford as part of their Design & Technology project. The classes are learning how recipes can be adapted and the trip gave them a valuable chance to explore a wide range of biscuit products firsthand. During the visit, the children examined different types of biscuits, paying close attention to packaging, ingredients and design features. This real‑life investigation has already helped to inspire their ideas and support their planning back in school.

We would like to say a big thank you to the Co‑Op team for warmly welcoming Millfield’s Year 4 children and supporting their learning so enthusiastically.

🎉Red Nose Day Fun!

Fri 20 Mar 2026

What a fantastic day we’ve had! The children looked absolutely brilliant in their Red Nose Day outfits today, from wacky wigs and bright red noses to colourful costumes and creative accessories. There were so many funny looks and lots of laughter around school. It was wonderful to see everyone joining in with such enthusiasm.

A huge thank you to all our families for your generous donations so far. Your support helps make a real difference. If you would still like to donate, you can do so by following the link:

🌿Cambridge Botanical Gardens Trip

Fri 20 Mar 2026

Our Year 2 children had a thoroughly enjoyable day at the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens. They explored the rainforest inside the glasshouse and were amazed by one of the largest trees in the UK near the pond area. The children were especially excited to spot and identify wildlife during their visit. They were fantastic representatives of Millfield throughout the trip, well done, Year 2!

Year 2 Birch Class Pupil Voice: 'There was a plant that was around when the dinosaurs lived!'

🚧Hazard Alley Trip

Fri 20 Mar 2026

Year 4 visited Hazard Alley on Monday to learn more about how to stay safe. They participated in a range of scenarios including how to stay safe near water, online safety and finding safe places to cross roads. The children experienced making urgent phone calls to the emergency services and putting someone into the recovery position. The children very much enjoyed the trip and were great representatives of Millfield. Thank you to the Year 4 teaching team for organising such an important trip for our children to experience real life challenging scenarios.
