Milton Primary School

Good Evening everyone,

I am so looking forward to our trip out to the Shieling Project tomorrow. Today, as a class, we discussed what the children will need for tomorrow. This includes:

1. Warm clothing. Layers are best so the children can add on/remove if need be. I’d suggest taking some extras in their bag too, if possible.
2. Waterproof clothing is essential as well as waterproof footwear. We do have waterproof suits and wellies for all children in school should they be required. Some children took these home with them today.
3. A snack and a packed lunch. We’ve had very few requests for a packed lunch made. We are assuming all children will have a packed lunch with them unless they have returned their slip.
4. Water bottle. I’ll be advising the children take theirs from school but if you are able to provide one from home then even better.

See you in the morning.

Huge well done to P6/7 Miss Crew & Mrs Christie for organising such a successful event. A big thank you to all of the boys and girls for the super live entertainment and delicious food.

Good Evening all,

A huge thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the Burns Supper this afternoon. As you know, this was an event to raise funds for the P7 Residential trip so we really appreciate your support. The total amount of money raised is to be confirmed but it looked like a healthy pot this afternoon.

Congratulations to Ms Brewer and Belle for successfully winning the cheesecakes. It was lovely to see some people back in their traditional Scottish dress today, children and staff included. We forgot to take a photograph on Wednesday so apologies if your child wore it then and we missed it.

We have had a fantastic delivery from the Shandwick this morning. £1.00 a ticket. Pop in to the office to see Mrs Nimmons or bring along your money to the supper this afternoon.

As promised I am writing to keep you informed about the management arrangements at our school.

An Acting Head Teacher has now been appointed to cover for me during my secondment period. Mrs Suzanne Callander will take up the post as Head Teacher from Monday 3rd February. She met with school staff today and said hello to the children.

Suzanne is well known to our children and staff in her capacity as Literacy Development Officer. This is very good news for our school and as Head Teacher I am delighted to welcome Suzanne into our amazing school community. I would like to wish her every success as she prepares to lead our school forward. I have no doubt she will love every second of this privileged job.

Kind regards, Mrs Sinclair

We are delighted to announce the Shandwick Inn are donating a cheesecake to be raffled at The Burn’s Supper on Friday. Please pop into the school office if you’d like to purchase a ticket or even better pop along for a delicious Burns Supper and buy some then. Speak to Mrs Nimmons re ticket availability.

The children and staff are welcome to wear Tartan on Friday too as we hope to provide our dinner guests with some Scots entertainment. It was lovely to see everyone in their traditional dress today too.

Also if you’ve missed the email with the termly calendar in it, please pop in or call the school office to ensure your e-mail is on the distribution list.

An Autism Support Group is being set up for parents of pupils from p6/7-S6 within the Invergordon Academy ASG.  The first meeting will take place on Wednesday 29^th January in Invergordon Academy at The Café 201 from 6pm -7pm.  It will be very informal and a chance for parents to have a chat and share experiences.  It is planned that we would host a monthly meeting on the last Wednesday of each month.

£747!!!!

What a brilliant amount, well done to The Morrisons Bag Packing Team 🙂 The Residential is getting cheaper by the day.

A huge thank you and well done to our P7’s and families who came along to Morrisons today. They took part in the ASG bag packing event which was organised by The Rotary Club.

The volunteers were in great spirits, working hard together to pack bags and raise money for their residential trip. On first count by Mark (Rotary Club) it would appear that over £400 has been raised. He will confirm the amount soon!

A huge well done and thank you to every single volunteer. Amazing!
