Milton Primary SchoolWell 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!

Whilst walking through Tarbat today we bumped into an artist called Hugh Kirkwood. He talked to us about his passion for art and we were really interested to hear about the different brushes and paints we was using.
He told us that he earns his living by painting, we were all very impressed.
“Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used.

Primary 5-7 were exploring their local area this morning. After a short walk to the local church they were given a guided tour and warm welcome by the minister Rev. Stewart and some of his church members. We heard lots of stories about the history of the church and we then had an opportunity to explore the church for ourselves.
P5-7 were writing poems this week after studying a selection by Michael Rosen and Roger McGough.
We were inspired to start with ‘Happy is a place’ after reading a poem from Michael Rosen’s Sad Book.
How wonderful are these poems…read them and smile 🙂
