Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC and welcome to a new week! Remember to check your class page on the blog or Microsoft Teams (if your class is using it) for some messages from your teachers.

I have attached some learning activities for all stages in the school to keep everyone busy today!

ECC/Primary 1: Let’s try a hunt around the house.

Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC

Firstly let me say that we all deserve a rest today. I don’t know about you, but I am shattered – in more ways than one!!

A very different week and it’s been rather strange for us all.

Please don’t feel that you have to be accessing all of this new technology ‘stuff’ straight away. Even the staff are completely befuddled by most of it – no one is an expert yet (me included!)

However I have had a lot of interest in accessing the Microsoft Office 365 parts – Word, Powerpoint, TEAMS etc.

So I have made a very basic help page which I hope will provide some guidance.

I already posted a help page for accessing GLOW earlier in the week, so you may need to have look at that first.

See below for my home-made help page to Office 365.

I also managed to find a help page on the internet for TEAMS. I hope it will be of some assistance. It’s not the easiest of platforms to operate and best left to the experts among us i.e. your children!!

Hello P3,

Remember to check the P3/Mrs Norman’s Glow page for updates and suggestions for your learning.  😊

Hope you’re all staying safe and following the rules for going outside.
Take care,

Mrs Norman

Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC!

If you are fortunate enough to have a garden or some safe outdoor space, why not take your reading outdoors.

Put on a warm jacket, hat and some gloves and head outside for some much-needed fresh air. Take something warm and comfy to sit on and if you have a small tent – all the better!

I have created a Help Page for any parent/carer who is struggling to access the Glow site.

I will aim to add more Help Pages in the coming days/weeks.

It’s a learning curve for us all!!

Good Morning to our wonderful parents, carers and children.
We would like to send you a huge virtual hug this morning. We hope you are well and are working through your home learning pack. Keep to a clear routine for your children it will help them to feel more secure in this time of ongoing changes. Together we can get through these challenging times. So be kind to yourselves please. I hope that all our ECC children will be giving Ms Dougan’s challenge a go! Make your beds this morning, give it a go!
I would like to give our ECC children our own challenge! Now you know we have a ‘child of the day’ and you get to hear some fantastic compliments. Today I want you to make someone smile by giving out compliments. We would love to hear some of your compliments so remember to share!
Take Care Everyone
With Love From All The ECC Staff

Good morning Mauchline PS & ECC

I hope you are all well this morning and are beginning to settle into life at home. This morning I have set my children some learning activities to keep their brains busy. I have bought myself a new book and we are all having reading sessions every day. I have included some good reading challenges (Reading Bingo) that you may wish to try over the next few weeks – see the post below.

I am looking for fun and educational activities to keep everyone learning at home. I have already posted some ideas in your class Glow pages and I will continue to keep on the look-out.

Remember the basics: keep reading, help out round the house, try to keep busy (help with the cooking, baking, cleaning) as there is always hidden numeracy and literacy that you didn’t even know you were doing. Your pack will keep you busy for now – remember it’s nearly the Easter holidays!

Stay safe.

Mrs Cross
