As day two of Health Week has drawn to a close we thought you would like to know how things were going…the 5k fun run was a great success yesterday, the boys and girls clocked up the kilometres and enjoyed an afternoon of jogging in the glorious sunshine! A very well done to all of the parents (and prams) that participated! Great to see so many smiles on the track. Special thanks to our two Milton Dads that collected in the markers,tables and chairs afterwards, many hands make light work 🙂

Milton Nursery and Primary School raised an amazing £80.16 last Friday for the MFR Cash For Kids Appeal – very well done and a huge thank you to everyone for your generosity.

 

 

Mrs Mckie from Invergordon Academy visited Milton yesterday. 

   

During the afternoon Balnagown,Logie and Kilmuir were competing for house points in this weeks team challenge. What we really need to know is; Do monkeys make good leaders? (Spot the monkey!) 

        

 

 We are not sure who had most fun on Friday, the staff or the pupils?!

An interesting discussion resulted in everyone agreeing that you don’t need special super powers to be a hero, in fact ANYONE can be a hero.   All you have to be is the right person in the right place at the right time!

Superheroes are disguised as ordinary people with extraordinary hearts 💝

A huge thank you to everyone who helped support MFR’s Cash for kids appeal , we will let you know the grand total very soon!

Well done to our fantastic swimming team who were competing in the Ross Shire Primary Schools Gala this afternoon. This was the first year that Milton have entered and we were delighted with the result! Team Milton came 3rd overall in their group, Charlotte finished in 1st place in one of her races, which was brilliant. Very well done to Tallulah, Charlotte, Riley and Owen  who were swimming stars today! Bring on next year!🌟🌟🌟🌟

 

Primary 7 went along to Eden Court on Monday 27th April to show their support for the other schools who were competing in the J-Rock Challenge.  It is fair to say we were all blown away by their talents!

A very special well done to Bridgend Primary who took first place!

I can respond to the experience of drama by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others’ work.

On Thursday 23rd April we ran the last few kilmometres and reached our final destination…Warsaw, the Capital City of Poland.  The Junior Jog Scotland Challenge certainly has been a lot of fun for us, tricky at times when faced with hail, rain, wind and snow… but we did it! It really goes to show that we can do anything that we put our minds to at Milton!  A superb effort from the whole School, Nursery, parents and a very special thank you to all of our special guest runners  (including Scotland’s Strongest Man) who helped us clock up over 2000 kilometres!

After crossing the finish line we enjoyed some delicous foods  from the different countries that we passed through on our travels!
