Milton Primary School

Good Evening,

Just a reminder that today, Monday 1st June, is an in-service day for all staff. There will be no learning tasks set on the Blog or Google Classroom and no requirement for you to register your child. We do have a little Health and Wellbeing challenge coming your way though so keep your eyes peeled for that.

I was delighted Lois’ Mum sent me across a little update of her caterpillars. Lois introduced them on the early years blog last week so it’s great to hear how they are getting on. Mrs Martin usually has some caterpillars growing nicely in school during this term so it’s great that Lois is sharing her journey with us.

Primary 6/7 were tasked with creating a lava lamp this week. Peyton got in touch to say she wasn’t able to make a lava lamp but she made these fantastic glitter jars. I think they look great. Maybe she will share how she did it so others can have a go too!

I was delighted to hear so many of you were able to collect your TDT packs from the Mercat Centre last week. Stacey and Mrs Sutherland very kindly offered to take some packs out while following up on some school work tasks. The Mercat is open again today at 12.00pm for you to collect your child’s pack. Please send any photographs of your child using the contents to me on joanna.christie@invergordonacademy.org.uk if you are able. We would love to say a special thank you for TDT from Milton Primary & Nursery.

I was delighted to see these ones of Sami and Martin using theirs. Thank you to their Mum for sharing.

Have a great week everyone, hopefully the sunshine is here to stay!

If you are able, please visit the Mercat centre to collect your child(ren)’s pack kindly donated from the TDT.

Your child will need these items for some Health and Wellbeing challenges coming your way next week. The Mercat is open for pop up shop Mondays and Thursdays from 12.00-3.00pm. If you are unable to collect them we will do our best to get them delivered to you.

A huge thank you on behalf of all staff to TDT for providing these for our children. We think they look amazing ❤

Good Morning all,

A lovely post to be writing for a Monday morning. Look at these stars who all took part in the challenge. The children were sent wheels and some parts to make a car out of a box which they had to decorate. There’s even a prize for the best entry! Fingers crossed for Eilidh, Finlay & Abby.

Good Morning all,

Week 8 of home learning begins. I’m sure many of you tuned into the First Minister’s announcement last Thursday. As soon as we know what impact this will have on our school in June/August we will let you know. Please bear with us as we await guidance from the authority.

This week’s little challenges are below, keep an eye out for a new Health and Wellbeing challenge coming to you on Friday. We hope to keep everyone active in the month of June, staff included.😊

Thank you everyone for sending all your photos. Who do you think found the most unusual place?

Also, our special guest wanted to send you his own video.

If your child(ren) are taking part in the challenge, we would love to see some photographs of their entries.

Please send them along to: joanna.christie@invergordonacademy.org.uk

Or if you have any photographs of what your child has been getting up to during home learning, please feel free to send them along. We’d love to see it as, I’m sure, their peers would too.

Have a great weekend when it comes,

Mrs Christie
