Hello Primary 1/2,

I hope you had a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year with your lovely families. I know this is not how any of us expected to start the new year and I can’t wait to see you all soon to hear all about your Christmas break. Although, we won’t see each other face to face for now, please remember I am only at the other side of the computer screen to support you.

Hi Primary 5.

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas. I am really looking forward to working with you all again this year.

Enjoy your weekend and I look forward to hearing from you all on Monday.

Love

Happy New Year to all our children and parents/carers.  I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break.  It is unfortunate that we can not all be together in school again as this new term starts, however we will work hard to make sure all children can continue with their learning.

You will find the grid with tasks for Monday (11th January) and Tuesday (12th January) attached to this post.  This will also be on our Primary 4 Teams page too.

I am available on email if you have any questions or concerns about your child or the tasks to be completed. Please email me with any questions at susan.travers@eastayrshire.org.uk

Monday 11th January (mental maths questions)

Tuesday 12th January (mental maths questions)

I will attach work for subsequent days on a daily basis from Wednesday 13th January.  This will be on our Teams page and children should check they know which spelling/reading and maths groups they work with, so as to know which folders to look in to find daily tasks.  Please email me if your child is unsure and I can give you this information.

I look forward to hearing from you next week and seeing some of your hard work.

Take care and stay safe

Dear Parents/Carers,

On behalf of all the staff in Mount Carmel I would like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year.

Unfortunately we will not be welcoming all our children back as we would have wished. Circumstances require us to move to a period of home learning for most. I know that the previous period of lockdown was difficult for some families. We have taken on board your comments from our survey of September 2020 and had put plans in place based on these and the experiences of staff who were organising home learning.

Unlike the previous period of lockdown our school will remain open and children of key workers will attend Mount Carmel rather than a Hub. Our staff will work on a rota basis within the school to support these children and when not in school teachers will prepare home learning activities.

As we are able to be in school it will be easier for us to contact you and the children and to adapt to any changing circumstances.

Tomorrow we will give details of how home learning will be organised initially.

I know this is a difficult and worrying time for everyone. Please be assure we will support our children the best we can.

Mrs McConville

Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

Happy New Year!!

As part of our daily routine within the hubs, we are hoping to get the children out to play as often as possible (weather permitting). We would really appreciate your help in assuring that if you are planning on sending your children to our hub that you make sure they have warm clothing and also send in a spare set of trousers in case they get wet or dirty from outdoor play. We will, as always, ensure your child is safe whilst out playing in the cold weather.  We are looking forward to welcoming the children back into school. As always, a big thank you from all the staff for your ongoing support.
