Letter to parents and carers June 2020

Hello boys and girls and welcome to our first assembly in June.

We hope that you are all doing well.  It has been so lovely to read your emails and to have a chance to speak with some of you and your families too. Let’s take a moment to pause and to join our hands in prayer.  This week we have a special prayer from Fr Martin.

What a beautiful way for us to begin out time together, thank you so much Fr Martin for taking the time to do this for us.

This week you have all continued to work so well on all of your different activities from your teachers and so many of you are learning life skills too – cooking, gardening and helping out around the house.  Well done for being such great stars.

This week we have Proud Clouds from Mrs McCreadie and from Miss Mudge.  Have a look at the things they are proud of:

Thank you for all of your Proud Cloud contributions.  Mrs Crawford has been adding these to our blog have a look at our latest Proud Clouds.

One of the activities that we used to do each day as part of our PATHS programme was to share compliments for our PATHS Pupil of the Day.  This is something that you can still do at home.  This week try to choose one family member each day to give compliments to; remember that person should also give a compliment to themselves too.

Our Primary 5 and 6 future buddies have been thinking about what makes our school great and will soon be sharing their ideas with our new Primary 1 children and families.  Miss Mudge has been busy creating a beautiful end of year celebration for our Primary 7 children – we can’t wait to see what the final item will look like.

Just before our assembly comes to an end we have some exciting new about next week.  Normally in the month of June, Mount Carmel has a special Health Week and a Sport Day.  Next week we shall continue this tradition with our first Home Learning Health Week and Sports Day.  There is a special post that tells you all about it with some great clips of our teachers taking part in the challenges.  We hope that you all enjoy the Health Week linked Home Learning Tasks and especially enjoy your Sports Day challenge.  If you are able to we would to see some videos or pictures of what you are doing, please send these on to your class teacher.

Thank you boys and girls for all that you continue to do, keep safe.

Remember that we love and miss you all.  Have a look at this special message from all of the staff in the school just to say how much we miss you and are looking forward to seeing you all soon.

From all of us at MCPS.

Together we are #Team MC

Just a little reminder that next week is : Health Week ! 

The learning grids which the children are issued with every week  will be based on this and will have lots of different health activities to try out .

Last week we told you that Katie MacKinnon was the winner of our Marty Bear t-shirt competition. Our super talented Mrs Taylor has been very busy on her sewing machine and now Katie’s design is a real t-shirt that Marty has been able to wear in this hot weather! Doesn’t he look cool?

Hello Everyone,

We know that having to socially distance from your family and friends can be really tough. We feel this way too. When you see your favourite people from a distance all you want to do is give them the biggest hug. Sadly, we can’t hug right now and while we can’t hug, Owl has some super ideas for Hedgehog and Tortoise to show someone how much they care. Maybe you could try some of Owl’s ideas too.

Below is a link to the story “While We Can’t Hug”

Enjoy the story boys and girls! xox

Home Learning stationery  packs will be available for collection (for children who require them ) at the front of the school from tomorrow morning ( Tuesday 2nd June).

One pack will be allocated per child and contains 1 x maths jotter, 1 literacy jotter and one blank paged jotter, also pencils, a rubber, a sharpener and a small bundle of coloured pencils or crayons all for completing  home learning tasks.

Please remember to respect social distancing measures if you do require to come and collect a pack. Thank you !

Hello boys and girls,

What a beautiful weekend we are having. I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.  I am very proud of you all for all of the hard work that you have completed this week and i love photos that you are sending me. Keep up the hard work.

We realise that the current situation can be challenging for everyone, both adults and children and we are eager to support you as best we can as we face these challenges together.

As part of our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) our coach from Barnardo’s Scotland, who supports the implementation of the PATHS® programme in school will be taking questions relating to the Social and Emotional Health and Wellbeing of parents, children and family members.

If you or your child have any questions regarding challenges you are currently experiencing, perhaps dealing with difficult feelings or behaviours in your home or dealing with new challenges presented by staying at home, you can send us your question and our coach from Barnardo’s will respond. As always, if you have a particular concern regarding your child that you want to discuss please contact the school directly.

Just to let you know – Our learning assembly will return on 5th June

Hello boys and girls,

We hope you enjoyed today’s story.

Cody the caterpillar felt a bit unsure about becoming a butterfly, she wanted to stay a caterpillar forever. Her friends told her it would be great and they were right. Marty knows you might be feeling a bit unsure about becoming a big P1 but he also knows you will be great too!!

Now that you have finished the story, do you think you could make your very own butterfly?? Use the butterfly template to make the most bright and beautiful butterfly ever!! Keep your butterfly safe and on our very first day together in school, bring it with you.

We can’t wait to see you all becoming beautiful P1 butterflies!

 Lots of Love

Mrs Duff and Mrs Dunsmore xxx

Mr Bertoncini & Mrs McIntyre

This Sunday, the 24th May is the day Primary 4 boys and girls have been looking forward to all year. This was the day those who have been preparing for their sacraments, would have celebrated their First Holy Communion. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families, boys and girls.
There will be a special Mass streamed live by Father Martin from St Matthew’s Church at 10:00am. Mrs McGahon has recorded the psalm and Mr Bertoncini one of the readings. To be part of this special Mass:
Go online and search You Tube for ‘Kilmarnock, St Matthew’
