Easter Activities - Reading challenge and Geography competition
As we break for the Easter holidays today (Friday 11th April) please find below details of two activities that children can complete over the break.
Community Academies Trust Geography Competition - Design Your Own Island!
All pupils are invited to take part in this exciting competition being organised by our trust (Community Academies Trust) and design their very own island!
This competition is their opportunity to unleash their creativity and think about important geographical features.
They will need to consider the island's climate, human and physical landscape features, as well as create a unique flag and currency. They will need to pinpoint their island’s location on a world map and add physical features like volcanoes, rivers, and mountains.
They can submit their island design in any form they wish - be it a 3D model, a dazzling poster, or as a design booklet / brochure. It’s up to them!
All island designs need to be returned to school by Wednesday 7th May. Good luck
Millfield Ten Day Easter Reading Challenge
The Millfield ten day Easter reading challenge is back again!
Over the Easter holiday we would like as many pupils as possible to complete our ten day reading challenge.
To take part all pupils have to do is read / be heard read every day for the ten school days of the Easter holiday and enter this into their reading records / reading diaries (they can of course read at the weekend as well and also record this).
When pupils return to school after Easter pupils should show their completed reading records and diaries to their teachers who will send them to Mr Kelly who will put a special note in their reading record / diary and enter them into a special draw to win a book by our Authors of the Month for May 2025.
Happy Easter and keep on reading!

Welcome to Millfield Primary School part of the Community Academies Trust.
As head teacher of Millfield I am extremely proud of the role and responsibility I have of leading and managing the school and making it the very best that it can be.
These are challenging but exciting times for Millfield Primary as we continue to move forward and ensure that all of our pupils make the best possible progress and achieve at the highest possible level.
We work hard to ensure all our pupils experience an exciting, engaging curriculum at our school that provides them with the knowledge and skills needed for the next stage of their education and their future lives.
Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. It is the most important skill that we must teach our pupils to ensure that they become fluent readers as quickly as possible.
We want every pupil at this school to be a confident, fluent reader who not only reads to learn but also reads for pleasure.
I am, along with all staff and all governors, committed to making our school a centre of excellence. We are all dedicated to accepting nothing but the best for our school and doing everything in our power to help every single pupil achieve their very best.
If your require any further information about the school or wish to make an appointment to visit us please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
