Milton Primary School

On Thursday, Priamary 4-7 went along to Morrisons to Carol Sing. They sung their hearts out and made an amazing £344.

We would like to give June and her team at Morrisons a huge thank you, we received a lovely welcome and were gifted some lovely goodies. It is very much appreciated.

It really did get us into the Christmas spirit, the customers thoroughly enjoyed it!

A huge thank you to everyone who was able to join us in school on Wednesday afternoon to make decorations. We know it put your creative skills to the test but the end results were fantastic.

Here are some angels that will be looking lovely on many of your Christmas trees 😇 🎄 🎅

Also, after our Parent Afternoon, P4-7 hosted a Christmas Craft Fayre as part of their enterprise learning. The children planned and made stalls to earn money. They worked out how much things would cost to buy, how much to sell it for to hopefully make a profit. The totals are being added up.

Well done to P4-7 – it was a super afternoon which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

It was lovely to have the Nursery and Primary 1/2 together yesterday to discuss how to be safe near the road. We got together as a group and discussed what we already knew about how to be safe on the road. Answers included ‘Walking on the pavement, Stopping, looking and listening when you need to cross and not playing on the road.’

We moved on to discuss how to be safe at night time and discussed items such as torches, head torches and reflector jackets. We also explored the role of a Lollipop lady or gentleman even though we don’t have one at Milton.

In class we then had fun making our own lollipops and zebra crossings. We also visited our very own zebra crossing and practised crossing safely using what we learned during our discussion.

Here is our fabulous Swimming Team. Yesterday they took part in the Annual Ross-Shire Primaries School Association Gala at Alness Swimming Pool.

The afternoon went without a glitch and we were delighted to see all our swimmers reach the finish line safely for each of their events. The team put in a fantastic effort and there were some huge personal achievements.

We didn’t bring home any silverware this time although we did come 2nd in our group but a neighbouring school actually commented on our sportsmanship and said how lovely it was to see us cheering on other competing schools which is a lovely compliment to receive.

Well done #TeamMilton. You were a credit to your families and the school.

The children in the nursery made a poppy wreath and some poppy pictures to remember those who fought in the war. They watched two short CBeebies videos, one about the animals in the war and another about how people lived in the war. They learnt that on Remembrance day we have a two minute silence to remember those who fought for our country.
“For the men’s who died.” “We be quiet.”

P4567 made Ms Brewer very proud on Friday afternoon. They showed so much respect when they walked down to place the Remembrance Wreath that they made at the Cross in the Village. A huge thank you to Mrs Sellar and Mrs Sutherland for preparing and executing this task so beautifully.

Milton Community Woodland asked the Children in Milton Primary to design a logo. The response & quality of pictures submitted made the competition very tricky – so much talent & imagination.

A public vote to pick the winner took place and we are delighted to share the winning logo which will be used on all their letters and posters….

Here is our winner with Derek McRobbie from the Milton Community Woodland presenting her with her prize. She was absolutely delighted!

Thank you and for asking us and the chocolates and prizes.

We are delighted to share our recent Care Inspectorate Report which was carried out in the Nursery. We are absolutely delighted with the grades.
We are very proud of our children and nursery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nursery and P1/2 had their first active play session this week. CALA will be with us for the rest of the session and will have the opportunity to work with the whole school – we are very excited.

We played games; active beans, colour hoops and really enjoyed the tiny parachute. We then had time for free play. We enjoyed making dens with the hoops, practicing our balance on stilts and throwing and catching tennis balls.

When we got back we evaluated how we felt on the floor book.

We have some SUPERSTARS in the school. Some of our children attend a dance class every Saturday morning as part of an extra curricular activity. Every year the children have the opportunity to take part in a show, 2 performances each with 500 people watching. What an achievement! Well done to each one of you, you danced with confidence and put on an amazing show! We are very proud of you 🙂

One of our pupils commented that our signs and instruments were all dirty so we talked about what we could do. They decided that we could clean them with soap and warm water. They worked really hard to make them look like new again. “We have to look after them to make them look nice.” “I am pushing hard to get the dirt off.” “ They will not break if we keep them nice.” What super responsible and respectable children.

On Thursday 31st August the school hosted a Summer Disco and some of the nursery children came along and had some fun with their nursery and school friends…
