Balanceability in Bumblebees & Ladybirds
These excited children received their Balanceability certificates in assembly on Friday after completing their Balanceability lessons. On the last lesson of their course, their parents came into school to watch their children ride confidently around the sponsored assault course. Thank you to the proud parents for supporting Balanceability and raising over £250 for Miss Burrows to buy new pedal bikes for the children in Foundation Stage.

Millbrook celebrates the Royal Wedding
We had an amazing afternoon in the beautiful weather on Friday 18th May. The event started with a family picnic on the field, with the packed lunches served in Union Jack boxes.

Pete The Dinosaur
Bumblebees, Ladybirds and Caterpillars became paleontologists last term and learnt all about Dinosaurs!

They even took…

Fantastic Fridays in FS2
Fantastic Fridays have started in FS2! 2 Ladybirds and 2 Bumblebees are picked to become the teachers every Friday. They come into a planning meeting during Thursday afternoon, decide what they’d like to learn about, plan their resources and then deliver their topic during Fantastic Friday! So far we’ve been learning about boats, starfish, cars and butterflies. I wonder what we’ll be learning about during the next Fantastic Friday?

Happy Chinese New Year
Recently in Foundation Stage we have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have made Chinese dragons, built Chinese houses and compared them to our own homes, made lucky red envelopes with yen inside, made Chinese lanterns, chopped vegetables to go into our stir fry (which we loved eating with our very own chopsticks!) and we all danced around the playground with instruments and scarves as a very long dragon! Happy Chinese New Year everyone…Kung Hei Fat Chow!

Born in a Barn
KS1 and Foundation stage worked incredibly hard to put on three fantastic performances of Out of the Ark’s production, ‘Born in a Barn’. A special well done to all the Year 2s for learning their parts and projecting their voices so well. All the children across the 4 year groups performed so well and the singing was beautiful. A big thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch.
