Dear Visitor,

We wish you a very warm welcome to the Mill Hill Primary School website and hope that by using the site, you will get a picture of our vision, aims and of the values we uphold.
All schools have their own unique identity and we believe that at Mill Hill Primary School, we have created a friendly, caring and supportive environment that encourages our pupils to fully learn and develop.
Our strong and committed Governing body fully supports the school in providing the best possible educational opportunities for all.
Our talented staff use their expertise and experience to extend the opportunities our pupils are given, both in the classroom and in a range of extra-curricular clubs, trips and activities.
Through their hard work and great attitude, children leave our school ready to face the excitement and challenges of secondary school, armed with resilience and a ‘can do’ attitude. They are confident in their ability to organise themselves, make new friends and have a positive attitude to learning.
Please enjoy finding out about our school on our website. If you would like further information, please contact us through the school office; where Mrs Bainbridge or Mrs Hall would be delighted to help.

With best wishes,

KS1 NumberBods Show!

8th March 2018D Osmond

Monday afternoon, our key stage one pupils got involved in an interactive number show.  The concept was to have fun learning maths through dance. The Numberbods (groovy dancers) showed us how to make numbers with our bodies, dressed up and made a toy shop then tested our calculation skills by physically making different number sentences.  A lot was going on!

Mill Hill Meets Asiana!

8th February 2018E Nicholson

 

 

FAB FOOD! Yummy!

Today Year Two had very special visitors. Ian and Faye Wong – restaurant owners of Asiana, Sunderland – helped us celebrate Chinese New Year and bring a close to our China topic.

Why did he visit, I hear you ask? Can you guess?

The scrumptious smells drifted along the corridors and filled the busy classrooms. We watched and took part in making Coca – Cola chicken with Ian and sampled lots of new , exciting ingredients!

Chinese celebrations, organised by Mr Wong from Asiana, will take place in The Bridges, Sunderland on Sunday 25th February 2018 at 12pm.

2018 is the Chinese New Year of the dog! Come and join us.

What a wonderful fun – filled day we had!

We learned loads of new facts about China and Chinese New Year. We listened, got dressed up and acted out traditional Chinese stories from long, long ago. We even worked in terrific teams to build our very own Terracotta Warriors using clay and modelling tools.  What a fantastic time we had!

Making Carrot Cookies

As part of our Design Technology lessons, we have been making carrot cookies. We first tried this recipe when we visited Beamish Museum. During rationing in WW2, people would use carrots to add sweetness to their biscuits. Ours tasted delicious!
