Hello Primary 6,

I’m pleased that the majority of you have managed to access all your resources and tasks on Teams. I have posted ALL the resources and activities you need to do under the section Daily Tasks – 14.1.21. Going forward I’ll name all the sections like this but change the date.

I have posted your tasks for tomorrow below, as I know some people are still having issues accessing Teams.

I will be in school all day tomorrow supervising, so I won’t be able to reply to any emails or messages on Teams. I will reply on Friday.

Thank you for all your hard work so far Primary 6!

Hello Primary 4.  Well done those of you who have been accessing work and keeping in touch with me either by email or through our Teams page.  The work I have received so far has been of really good quality, so well done to all of you!

From tomorrow (Wednesday 13th January) I will be uploading daily tasks on our Teams page.  It will be presented differently to the grid format you received at the start of the week.  I will post instructions daily on what tasks are to be completed and where to find these tasks.

In case there are any issues with Teams tomorrow, I thought I would upload the tasks to be completed tomorrow, on our Blog so as you can easily access the work needed.

Tomorrow every pupil will complete 1 spelling and 1 reading task.  These will be issued in literacy group tasks, so make sure you know which group you work with.  Books have already been assigned on Bug Club.

You will also complete 1 core maths task and 1 mental maths task.  These will also be issued in maths group tasks, so again make sure you know which group you work with.

I am hoping to send out an email to all children via Glow this evening with a walk through video of how to access Teams and where to find the tasks once you have reached the Teams page.  Please ask children to check Glow later this evening or tomorrow morning and this should support pupils in accessing all materials through our Teams page.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we navigate a new format for daily tasks.  Hopefully there will not be too many teething problems and please contact me via email if you are having any issues at all.

Take care and stay safe

Mrs Travers

Hello Primary 6,

Letter to parent/ carers – Remote Learning

If you are looking for additional educational activities to do with your child/children throughout the lockdown period , give this a try :

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

A polite reminder that the school car park is for staff only. 

Can we please ask that when parents/carers are dropping off/picking children up from the school , even during this lockdown period, that they do not use the school car park.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Primary 1 and 2 Homework bags are now ready to be collected from the school. They contain everything your child/children require for their active learning. Please collect your child’s bag from the school via the main entrance. Thank you.

Following national and local authority guidance we will now not be using Glow mail as a means of communication with our P1 and P2 pupils.

Instead we have created group mailing lists for each class using parent email addresses. Class teachers will use these emails to communicate directly with families.

If the email address we have for you has changed or you do not wish this to be used for home learning purposes please contact Mrs McGahon – joanna.mcgahon@eastayrshire.org.uk

Thank you for your ongoing support.

A reminder that our homework stationery packs are at the front door of the school every day this week between 9am and 3pm . Please pick one up for your child/children if they need one.

If your child is due to start school in August 2021 we would be delighted for them to join our Mount Carmel family.

Due to the current situation registration will not take place at individual schools. Registration will be completed online between Monday 11th and Friday 15th January.

Please follow this link to complete Primary 1 registration.

To complete the online registration you will require to upload:

• a copy of your child’s birth certificate

You must register your child in only one school, either the denominational or non-denominational school for your catchment area. If you are unable to register online then please phone your local school who will assist you to register your child.

As you are aware Primary 3-7 from Wednesday 13th January will use the Glow app Teams to receive work on a daily basis.  We ask that all children access Glow and Teams on Monday/Tuesday.  When the are on Teams they should see their class Team.  All children should post a message to their teacher.

Please follow this link for a guide to using Teams.  Please be aware that this has not been produced by the school.  The first two minutes is the most helpful.

Accessing Teams through Glow

Microsoft-Teams-Guidance-for-Parents.docx.pdf.

Downloading Microsoft Teams Apps

Where possible, we encourage pupils to download the dedicated App for Microsoft Teams. We also encourage pupils to install Teams on their PC or Laptop if using one to access learning via Teams. Instructions can be found here (page 2 only):

Issue – Can’t open Email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. so can’t complete work issued

All pupils can download office for free and it will work on all devices. You can download Outlook, Word, PowerPoint etc to use on your phone, tablet, laptop or PC. For instructions click here:

Issue– Can’t access Microsoft Teams. 

To find Teams, pupils simply click on the Teams tile in Glow, and they should see any teams they are part of.  For specific and additional guidance, click here:

Issue – I am using a mobile phone, and when I sign in to Glow, I can’t see the tiles for Teams or Google Classrooms

We do not recommend that phones are used.  If this is your only form of accessing content please contact the school directly. If using this for a short time when you sign in, near the top you will see a grey box with ‘My Launch Pad’ and a small grey triangle. Click the triangle, and from the drop down menu, select ‘Mount Carmel Primary’. Once you move to the school launch pad you will see the Teams tile, click on a tile to access content.

Issue– I want to use my Xbox or Playstation to sign in to Glow

It is possible to use your console to access Glow. However, we do not recommend that you do so as some of the features within Glow do not work via Xbox or Playstation. Please contact the school directly if this is your only way of accessing content.
