Super ideas for scavenger hunts
Many of our children find Clicker a useful tool to use in school.
This is now available free for use at home during school closures.

If you would like to make use of this then complete our query form and we will be in touch with the access code that you will require.
You just need to go to www.cricksoft.com/home-installation for all the information you need to get started, including installation instructions and helpful hints for getting the most out of the software.

There is lots of training materials on our website on how to use this too and we are regularly holding Clicker webinars to demo the software too.

Please read the following document with advice about helping children to stay calm.
During these troubling times, we are aware our children may be feeling scared, worried or anxious without the familiarity and routine of an ordinary school day.
I have attached some links and activity ideas which may help to relieve some worry or anxiety and will hopefully help our children to feel a little bit better during these uncertain times.
These activities are only a suggestion, there is no requirement to complete these, they are here to help should you feel your child may need them.
Activity Ideas:
Paths Mood Chart & Check in
By drawing the emotions from our Paths mood chart, using the emotions faces children are used to, children create their own mood metre and indicate daily, by pointing or putting a sticker on the emotion they are feeling. Parents and siblings can do the same and encourage children to talk about their feelings. Having a ‘family check in’ where you share your worries and feelings, can have a positive effect and help to relieve some of their worries or concerns.
Daily Diary
By keeping a daily diary and writing down the emotions you are feeling, this can be a positive way to release some of the worry you may be feeling.
Relaxation/Breathing
This video encourages controlled breathing and visualisation, which may help to relieve any stress or muscle tension children are experiencing.
Massage
Our school have had inputs on massage, which can be a relaxing way to wind down, or prepare for a good night’s sleep. Below are a few of those massage techniques children should be familiar with:
Head massage
Back massage
Try doing it as a family!
As always, any child who feels they may benefit from a chat with me, can email me, at any time, during this holiday period or otherwise, and I will be sure to be in touch.
Take care of each other!

Could everyone please check their GLOW mail for a special message from Mrs. McGahon …..
The message is about a special Mount Carmel music video we are planning on doing involving our pupils and staff to help cheer us up !. We are looking for everyone to take a short video of themselves singing and/or dancing to the song “Reach for the Stars” by S Club 7….about 30 seconds or so will be perfect.
You can do this alone or have your family or pets join in too! If possible try to wear bright colours and if you have made a rainbow, try to use it in some way in your video.
In the message, you will find all the information and links about how and where to send your video to.
So come on Mount Carmel, have a go at reaching for the ……
Dear Parent/Carer,
In this strange situation we find ourselves in it’s hard to think today would have been the last day of term. Over the last few weeks we have become accustomed to what has become the new normal. We don’t know how long this situation will continue for but must remember this will pass and the joy and laughter will return to our school family.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank my whole school team for the effort and enthusiasm in everything they do for our children and families. Also, I know my team and I would like to thank you for your continued support.
I wish you a happy and peaceful Easter and hope we will all be able to be together soon.

Just a wee reminder that all children who access IDL as part of their literacy learning are still able to use this from home. Your school user name and password should still work!
