A chilly afternoon in the playground on Wednesday…Our very enterprising Primary 7’s have kick started their fundraising challenge…all monies raised will be going towards their trip.
A very generous little nursery star arrived with a delicious surprise for everyone yesterday.
Well done and thank you… Yum Yum! 
An overwhelming amount of food donations were received this week for the Foodbank. The children were delighted with the superb response for a brilliant cause. Blythswood collected the food this morning.
Thank you to everyone who donated 🙂
Such a fantastic amount of food has been donated by our families already, thank you so much to everyone.
Primary 5/6/7 will be leading our assembly at 2pm tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you there.

Primary 5/6/7 learning all about the Shoebox appeal down an the Blythswood warehouse at Deephaven today…”We really can make other people happy this year”. 
The children had prepared some excellent questions to ask about the Shoebox appeal. 
“It’s hard to believe the shoe boxes leave Evanton and travel all the way to Eastern Europe and even Pakistan”.
“We found out that every single box is packed by the public then it has to be double checked at the warehouse for customs reasons. There are already shoeboxes there which have been filled!”
“Adrienne gave us a tour of the warehouse and explained what happens to every single item after it is handed into the store. Some items are washed , some go to shops , some things even end up abroad. Nothing is wasted. Old plates and cups are smashed up and recycled to make our roads!”
“We helped to count the leaflets so they could be posted out to other schools that are interested in taking part just like us!”
“When we arrived back at school we got to work to wrap more shoe boxes. On Friday every Milton family will receive a pre wrapped box. We would love the boys and girls to pop in whatever they can and bring their box back after the holidays”.
“Primary 5/6/7 are here to help, don’t panic about the shoebox. At assembly tomorrow we will be explaining all about the things we can put inside each box!”
“This is my tree, look it’s got buttons”
“We are learning to walk safely with our partner”
“It’s the bus for the woods and it’s got a slide at the end”
“It’s a secret path from the field”
Yesterday the nursery had their second woods session and the children all thoroughly enjoyed exploring the woodland.
” Yay!”
“snack time”
“Is it a treasure map?”
The boys enjoyed a friendly against Park Prinary after school tonight. Great result for Milton FC 10-9. Well done to all of the players for showing superb sportsmanship and to all parents who supported the event. Bring on the next game!
Remember to give us a ring if you are unsure of your time or if you are unable to attend. This is a parent contact event for the school, the Nursery will be in touch shortly with their next stay and play date. Thank you 🙂
