The rain did not put us off the woods today. We all put on our red suits and wellies then headed out.

In the woods we reminded ourselves of the rules and decided because it was so wet and slippy we shouldn’t climb the trees as we might slip and fall.

As we have been learning about hedgehogs we looked all over the woods to see if we could find a hedgehog nest but had no luck. They must be very good at hiding and we hope they found hiding places that were dry and warm.

The boys and girls particularly enjoyed playing in a big muddy puddle, splashing and getting stuck in the mud then helping one another out. Then they used magic sticks to stir a powerful potion in the puddle, I am glad nobody was turned into a frog and we got all the children back to school safely.

On Saturday Mrs June was joined by Leo, Amy and their families at the Co-op in Invergordon to receive a cheque from the coop fundraising team.

We were absolutely blown away to be handed a cheque for £2502.00 to be used in our outdoor area. This is a huge amount of money and will allow us to develop our outdoor learning further. We have already started working on a brand new construction area and it’s already taking shape but now we will be able to purchase much need resources and equipment for this. Hopefully we will be able to invite you all along for our grand opening after Christmas.

Huge thank you to the Co-op in Invergordon this amazing contribution.

Attached is this weeks planning 🙂 Please see how you can help your child’s learning!

After a very busy morning sorting conkers and leaves we decided to go out into the woods for a lovely frosty walk.

The children ran on the crispy leaves and listened to crack and crumble under their feet. We noted how lots of the trees are looking very bare now. We wondered how the animals and birds who live in the woods look after themselves now it’s much colder, this is something we decided to look in books and on the internet to find out what happens to our wildlife in autumn.

Tomorrow Friday 15th of November is Children In Need Day! The children are invited to attend school/nursery in comfy sports clothes, bring a donation and come ready to take part in Joe wicks morning workout! All Pudsy bears are welcome! 😊

Primary 1 parents. If you would like to buy a copy of the Primary 1 Class photo can you please bring £5 to either me or Mrs Nimmons by Friday 22nd November. The picture will come exactly like the example below, with a mount.

The Scottish Sun is running a Books for Nurseries campaign for the next month. If you or anyone you know gets the Sun can you please cut out the coupons and bring them into school. We would love some new books for Milton Early Level Class!

We will still be going to the woods tomorrow (13th November). I have spoken to Mrs Sinclair and we are hoping to arrange it so that the Primary 1’s can have their photo’s taken before we leave for the woods. 🙂

We were kindly invited to have a stall at the Mercat Community Centre Christmas Fair.

The children planned what they wanted to sell and made reindeer food, mallow pops and christmas tree krispies.

They made signs for the stall and all had turns of selling our items. Thank you so much to everyone who came to our stall and supported it.

It was lovely to all get together and get back into the woods today. The cold certainly didn’t put us off and it was great to see everyone wrapped up so warm with hats, gloves and scarves.

We found the perfect spot with lots of fallen leaves to hunt for conkers in. There was lots of talk about the different colours in the woods and why so many leaves were lying on the ground.

As always when there are hills around us we took the opportunity to enjoy climbing and rolling down the biggest and steepest we could find!
