Last week, Year 2 had a very exciting visit from the Gatwick STEM Centre. We were thrilled because real engineers came to work with us! Before their visit, many of us thought Gatwick Airport was simply a place where planes take off and land. However, we learned that there are many other important jobs there too. Engineers help solve problems and work hard to look after the environment. One of our favourite activities was learning about water purification. We started with dirty water and worked together to try to clean it using different materials to filter it. We were amazed to see the water become clearer and it helped us understand how important clean water is and how fortunate we are to have access to it. We also made small electric cars using little motors and crocodile clips to connect the wires. We then used solar energy to power the batteries. When the propellers started spinning, we felt very proud because we had made them work using simple materials like cardboard and tape! We discovered that engineers do lots of clever and important things. It was a fantastic day that made many of us think about becoming engineers when we grow up. A big thank you to the engineers from the Gatwick STEM Centre for teaching us so many amazing things! #STEM #FutureEngineers #PrimarySchoolLearning #HandsOnLearning #InspiringYoungMinds

On Friday we celebrated World Book Day and it was fantastic to see so many creative costumes and such a real love of books across the school! A big thank you to all our parents and carers for supporting the children with their costumes and helping make the day so special. We really appreciate all the effort that went into it! #worldbookday2026 #LoveReading #SchoolCommunity #ReadingForPleasure #ThankYouParents

Choir On Tour On Tuesday 24th February, the Milton Mount Choir joined up with over 8700 other children to perform in the Young Voices 2026 concert at the O2 Arena in London. Mrs Catling, Mr Little and I had the honour of being part of this incredible experience and we are still on a high (minus the tiredness!) from another truly wonderful night to remember. I am so incredibly proud of these 35 phenomenal children who have been rehearsing for this concert since before the Summer holidays to learn so many words, actions and dance moves...they absolutely demonstrated strength and enthusiasm throughout. Their behaviour was outstanding and they were the most brilliant representatives of Milton Mount. Thank you, children for being such shining stars! Thank you to Alona, Aurica, Denisa, Kevin and Sarah, the Grown-Ups who helped us get up to London safely on the train and tube, and an even bigger thank you to Debbie and Lina who then sang and danced their way through the day and night with us during the rehearsals and concert, too. We couldn't have done this without you. I will leave the last words to some of our lovely singers, who have taken part in all three of the Young Voices concerts we have been to. Here's to many more years to come! Mrs Coysh The dark dazzling lights shone on us when we sang. There was endless dancing from us and the astonishing Urban Strides dance group. Even the ecstatic audience were on their feet! Being part of Young Voices is a truly momentous experience and getting to treasure every moment of it with your friends is even greater. From the travel to the concert, we enjoyed every moment. If you like to sing, hopefully you will be able to attend in future years.
