Summer Fayre Planning
Exciting times- we are in full swing with our Summer Fayre planning and we need you!
For the Fayre to go ahead on Saturday 8th June, we need 20 parent helpers to support P6 on the day, we currently have 3 confirmed. We’d be delighted to welcome you on board! If we can’t get the adult support, P6 will run an activity afternoon for the children instead.
Assuming we go ahead on 8th June, P6 will lead on the raffle and will be looking for your connections to approach for a contribution. Keep your eyes peeled on the blog.
Please have a test-run of any gazebos (or big tents) you’d be happy to put up on the day so that we have weatherproofed the day as much as possible.
Please also start your sun dances 🙂
Office Closed
The office will be closed between 11am and 1pm tomorrow, Friday 26th April.
If you have an urgent enquiry during these hours, please email miriam.macdonald@millburnacademy.org.uk or suzanne.dunbar@millburnacademy.org.uk and we will respond as soon as possible.
Diversity Day
Tomorrow is our monthly Diversity Day where children can come as their best selves, dressing up or down. It is also the month of the military child so if your child has any purple in their wardrobe or accessories, we would love to see them!
Got time to garden?
Superjanny Mr Cameron finishes for his holidays today- have a wonderful time. As usual he is already forward planning for jobs on his return!
He’d love a regular gardening session on Tuesdays between 130 and 300 and would love your company. You wouldn’t need to spend the whole time, just 30min would be great , and you wouldn’t need to commit to every week.
Please catch Mr Cameron in the playground if you are keen. The Headie will be on the tea and coffee run!
Keeping our children safe online
While your child is in school they only have access to Chromebook digital content managed by Highland Council security so you can feel confident in the content they can access.
This is why it is our policy that mobile phone and smart watches are handed to class teachers first thing in the morning. We expect all pupils to comply with this fair request. If a pupil goes against this policy and keeps their phone or smart watch in their bag, it will be removed and kept in the office and we will ask for it to be collected by a parent so your child can see we are jointly committed to protecting them in this way.
If your child needs to contact you during the day this will be done though the school office. Thanks for your support of this policy. I’ll try to share advice from https://nationalcollege.com/parents every now and then but the best way to learn about the platforms your child uses is to ask them about them, they are so knowledgeable.
Assembly Slides
Here are the slides from last week’s assembly.
If your child is in P4-P7 there is a link on slide 2 to a bullying survey we would like them to complete. We will also share the link in school.
We are continuing our campaign to name when bullying happens and to work to support a change in behaviour when it occurs so that everyone can learn and move forward positively.
