Home Learning Assembly

Good morning boys and girls and welcome back to our next Home Learning Assembly.

We hope you had a lovely long weekend and were able to enjoy some time in the sunshine.

We are now in the month of May when we honour Mary, Mother of God. St Teresa of Calcutta once said, “if you are ever upset call upon our Lady”

Let’s start this week’s assembly with this simple prayer.

Mary, Mother of Jesus please be a mother to us now and look after everyone we love. Help us to live like Jesus and have faith in his love.

Amen

We know it is difficult being away from family and friends and we are all missing you too. We hope you are enjoying the tasks and activities and we enjoy seeing and hearing what you have been up to. The most important thing is that you and your family are happy and healthy, so do what you can when you can. Remember we are always here if you want to contact us.

Last Thursday was Mr McMillan’s last day as our janitor. It was a sad day for all of us but he will be able to spend much more time with his family soon. He was telling us he is going to teach his 5 grandchildren to swim. A lot of the staff from our school met in the car park to clap for Mr McMillan as he has been our hero for many years. He was very surprised to see us. When we get back to school we will have a very special celebration for him.

Congratulations to all our Primary 7s who have received their Pope Francis Faith Award. Special congratulations go to Alfie, Tosia, Abbey, Sarah and Olivia Smith. They received a Parish Commendation from Fr. Martin for their positive contributions to the life of the Parish. Well done everyone. We will arrange for you to receive your certificates when we have them.

One thing we are doing a lot of is washing our hands and using a lot of soap and water.

We have a special challenge for you this week. All across the country this is National Water Week. We would like you to design something that either reduces water wastage or collects water. I know this is something that our Eco Committee knows all about. You can draw a picture or make a model and take a picture. Send your pictures to your class teacher. We will display some of the most ingenious at a later assembly.

This unusual time has given us the opportunity to think about all the people around us and how much they do for us. We are all very proud of all the boys and girls in Mount Carmel and over coming weeks the staff will share what makes them proud.

This week Mrs Travers and Mrs Crawford share their Proud Cloud.
