A challenge for our brand new primary 4
Class of 2020
This morning we said our final farewells to the Primary 7’s. We were able to have them back into the school for a gift presentation. It was lovely seeing them all and how grown up they all look. It has been a different farewell this year but they will always hold a special place in MCPS hearts for being the ‘Lockdown’ Class of 2020.
We are so proud of them and wish them all the best at St Joseph’s.

Well done boys and girls!
A message from our Head Teacher
As we reach the end of a very strange term I would like to thank all families for their continued support of Mount Carmel Primary School. In my post in tomorrow’s Home Learning Assembly I recall some of the highlights of the time since I joined the school in mid-October. It has been a rollercoaster of a year filled with so many great memories. I would like to thank all my staff who work tirelessly to make the experiences for your children the best they can be. I hope they have a well-deserved, restful holiday.
I wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday. I look forward to welcoming everyone back to Mount Carmel PS in August.
Kindest regards

Hey new P4s!
Welcome to Primary 4! I am Mrs McIntyre. Most of you will probably remember me as your Primary 1 teacher, I certainly remember you all and all the fun we had together from greedy number hunt monsters, tadpoles, Katie Morag’s Post Office and who could forget about the wild woo in the woods! I am so lucky to have the chance to teach some of you again. If you don’t know me, please don’t worry as I am super excited to get to know you as your teacher along with Mrs Travers on a Thursday and Friday. We’re going to have an awesome time learning this year. I know you can’t wait to see your friends but it won’t be long now and I definitley can’t wait to see all of your faces in August – I’ve been missing you all! I have been busy setting up a new classroom just along from the other P4 classroom and I have taken some pictures to let you see what it may look like after the summer. I can’t wait for you all to help me decorate my room with your fabulous work!
Here are a few photos …
I would love to hear from you, even if you are in on a Monday or Tuesday as we may see each other in the future. Please send me a message on glow to say ‘hello’ . I have sent you one below. I’ve recorded a short message to remind you what i look like incase you’ve forgotten me in the link below!
Any ideas you have for our class charter then you can send me your thoughts and suggestions and it would be great if we could use one of them.
Keep posted for more news from myself and Mrs Travers shortly! Have a fantastic summer holiday!
Can’t wait to see you all very soon…

Welcome Primary 1/2!!
I am Mrs Dunsmore, your new teacher. I am super lucky to have met and got to know all of you during this past year and during all of our wonderful transition days. I can’t wait to be your teacher and make lots of amazing memories together!
Boys and girls going into Primary 2, you are so lucky because you are going to meet some brand new classmates … our wonderful Primary 1s! I know you will be the best role models for your new friends!
I have been really busy in school getting everything ready for you coming back/starting. I thought you might like a look at how your new classroom looks. I can’t wait to fill our walls with all your fantastic work! Below you will see the photos I have taken as well as a special message from me (just in case you have forgotten what I look like).

Our New Primary 4!
A big hello to our brand-new primary 4 class. I have really missed being in school with everyone over the last few months and I am really looking forward to being back with you all in August and being your primary 4 teacher!
I thought it might be useful to have a look at what our classroom may look like come August. The classroom might look quite different to our normal classroom set up, but we will support you all on our return and make the transition back to school as easy on you as possible.
I would love to hear from you, so please send me a message and say hello. Here is a little ‘hello’ from me:
I look forward to seeing you all in August but for now, take care, stay safe and have fun over the holidays.
Mrs Travers
Hello boys and girls
Hi boys and girls.
I am so excited to be the teacher in the Willow room and Oak room next session. I might not be working with many of you…BUT…. I still want to see your lovely little faces around the school so remember to say hi when you see me. If you are going to be part of the nurture classes, I cannot wait to work with you, we are going to have great fun!!
I am missing you all lots and cannot wait to see you in August. Have a great summer with your families and I will see you all soon.
Lots of Love from Mrs McCreadie xxxx
Hello Primary 6
Hello ‘soon to be’ Primary 6,
I was so happy when I heard I was getting Primary 6 – I had a huge smile on my face.
I’ve been busy getting your new classroom ready and I’ve been planning lots of lovely activities (and a Novel Study) for when you return in August.
I know you’ve seen me around the school and have known me as the Primary 7 teacher for the last 2 years but I’ve recorded a short message to remind you what I look like in case you’ve forgot! Scroll down for the video.
I’ve also put some photos of what you’re new classroom will look like in August. It’s just missing all of your beautiful work.
I have sent a group email with a Summer challenge for you all.
I can’t wait to see you all in August. Have a lovely Summer.
Love Miss Mudge
Your new classroom Primary 6
Welcome to our new Primary 1 boys and girls 😊!
Hello boys and girls!

The New P6/7
Hello to everyone in the new primary 6/7 class!
Last year I had taught P5 with Mrs McIntyre and also taught HWB with other classes. But this year I will have you all to myself! I am excited to be your new class teacher and can’t wait to get started. The class is still a bit bare but you will help me decorate it with all your hard work. One of the first jobs we will do together is create our class charter, so if you have any cool ideas, send me an email and we might use yours for our display.
Having taught most of you before, I’m looking forward to working with you again in August. I’ve uploaded a wee video so you remember what my face looks like as it’s been so long since we’ve been at school! (I may have a few extra wrinkles!) There’s also a few pictures of what the class will look like.
Enjoy your summer holidays and I will see you ready to go in August.

Hi boys and girls.
I hope you are all taking care. I have been busy getting ready for your return to school in August. I am really missing you all and hope you all have a brilliant summer. Here are some photographs of what the Willow room will look like in August. I know that the classrooms look very different but I do not want you to worry. The teachers have all been working hard to make sure that you are all safe, but most importantly that we can have fun when you come back.
Lots of love, Mrs McCreadie

Emoji Code Breaker
As part of our Paths programme, we have talked a lot about the different emotions we experience, how it looks and how it feels, inside and outside our bodies.
Using our cute paths friends and some emoji’s we are familiar with, can you decode the hidden message? This is a challenge for you all to try at home and parents can help our infant pupils if they are finding this challenging.
Have fun! Can you decode the hidden message? Let me now if you managed to work it out:

Final Week!
We cannot believe it has arrived! The final week! A huge well done to all families for sticking with it, especially our young people working hard and getting on with their learning activities! It may not have always been easy but we are immensely proud of all of you!
All our hard work is paying off and proof of this is that Scotland have now entered Phase 2; here is a child friendly version…
We have all played a part in getting the country here!
(Phase 2 is a staggered phase so please check government guidelines for exact dates).
We hope you enjoyed #ThrowbackThursday…more to come this week!
