Remember, not all tasks need to be completed.  Do what you can and have fun doing it.  Here’s an idea of how you can timetable your day.

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’

Hello P6,

I have enjoyed your updates on how you are getting on and the photographs of your fabulous work. You are all fabulous!

There is a Numeracy, Literacy and an IDL  (topic) grid based on Rainbows.  This is a shorter week, you are on holiday from school on Monday 25th  and Tuesday 26th so you will see that there are only 5 tasks on each grid.

Good afternoon primary four,

I hope you have all had another fantastic week and made the most of the sunshine.  I can see that you have all been super busy again this week, which is amazing! I am so proud of you!  You are all SUPERSTARS!

I know this weekend is a strange one as a lot of you would of been looking forward to making your Communion,  some of you will be feeling a bit disappointed and that’s OK.  When the day does come, we’ll make sure it is incredibly special and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers this weekend.

Take care and enjoy the long weekend!

Love from,

Hello Primary 7,

This is a bit of a different week because you are on holiday from school Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th. Therefore you only have five tasks in the Numeracy and Literacy grids to do. Again, do what you can, when you can. I am on Teams from 9-3pm.

I am still looking for Primary 1 photos, I’ve sent another reminder email out.

I hope everyone managed to read the S1 Transition message from Mr Kane and Mr Boyle. It is on the Mount Carmel blog page and I emailed it.

Lastly, I love looking at all the work you’ve been sending me. I am very proud of you all. Thank you for all your hard work.

Have a relaxing long weekend and fingers crossed the sun comes out at some point.

Love Miss Mudge

Hello boys and girls! Welcome to our third Home Learning Assembly.

We hope you are all well and continuing to enjoy the tasks and activities from your teachers. We have loved hearing from you and seeing all the great things you are doing at home. Remember just do what you can, when you can and know that we are here to help you.

We will begin our assembly by taking a moment to speak to God-

Dear God,

Thank you for our homes and our families. Please continue to help us and keep us safe. May we live like Jesus and show others your love in all that we do.

Lord in your mercy, Hear our Prayer.

A few weeks ago Bishop Nolan asked for pictures of our priests to be sent to him and we know that many of you had great fun drawing pictures of Father Martin! This week Bishop Nolan has a new challenge for you – he would like you to paint or draw a picture of your family. These will then be used to fill the Cathedral at a time when it cannot be filled with people. Ask a grown up to send your pictures via Facebook Messenger to the RC Ayr Page or you can email them to Mrs McGahon on Glow.

On the Wellbeing blog you will see lots of top tips on how to stay positive and have a healthy mind. This week for Mental Health Awareness Week we are asked to think about how kindness can make us all feel better.

Over the last few months we have seen many wonderful acts of kindness. From Captain Tom’s pledge to raise money for the NHS to each and every one of our amazing Key Workers who have put patients, customers and others before themselves. Kindness is spreading everywhere!

What does kindness look like for us? How can we feel better by helping others? Click on the link below and we can watch this short video together –

https://youtu.be/Qcyc68d6OAk  

“Kindness is a gift everyone can afford to give”. Here are some ideas of ways that you can show kindness from home –

• Send a friend a card to let them know you’re missing them.
• Invite a friend to play a safe online game with you.
• Sort through your old clothes or toys and choose a few things to donate to charity.
• Give a compliment to someone at home – this could be yourself!Remember all the wonderful compliments your friends and teachers at school gave you.
• Help a younger brother or sister with something they don’t understand.
• Set the table for dinner and help to clear up afterwards.
• Leave a thank you note for your postman/woman or your bin collectors.
• Clap to thank the NHS and put a rainbow in your window.

We know that lots of you will be doing these things already and it would be lovely if you could share some of your acts of kindness with us! Let us know what you did and how it made you feel. You can email them to your class teacher or to Mrs McGahon.

We have so many reasons to be proud of ourselves and others during these unusual times. This week Mrs Duff and Mrs McIntyre would like to share their Proud Clouds with you!

Thank you also this week to Jessica (P1), Hannah (P3) and Olivia (P7) for sending in their Proud Clouds, check them out on the Wellbeing blog! Remember you can send yours to Mrs Crawford at claire.crawford@eastayrshire.org.uk. We are so proud of all of you!

This Sunday would have been the celebration of First Holy Communion for our boys and girls in P4 who have been preparing for their sacraments –

Maia, Kinga, Megan, Lexi, Marcie, Harry, Oliver, Chloe, Annalise, Ethan, Emily, Damon, Zak and Indigo we are thinking of you and sending our love and prayers.

There will be a special Mass streamed live by Father Martin at 10.00am from St.Matthew’s Church. Just search for ‘Kilmarnock St Matthew’ on You Tube and you will be able to take part.

Let us now finish our assembly with a prayer sent to us by Father Martin –

Father of kindness and of all calm, help us to find peace in you.

You showed your friends how to find happiness through love.

Touch our hearts that we will always know that you are with us and that we are not alone.

Teach us that we can find your love in our brothers and sisters, in our family and friends. 

Help us to find you and your love every day of our lives.

This prayer we ask through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Continue to stay safe boys and girls. We love and miss you all very much.

Together we are #Team MC

Please find below a link to information about-

PATHS – The  social and emotional learning programme the children have been learning about in school .

An introduction to PATHS® for Parents

Important information from Mr Kane and Mr Boyle from St. Joseph’s Academy

Message from Mr Kane

We have not forgotten about you. We are still gathering all data files from associated schools, and will be in touch in late May/early June to introduce you to staff and life at St. Joseph’s. We do not know when we will be able to welcome you formally, but staff are working to prepare an online introduction for you later in the month. As soon as we have all contact details we will be in touch with parents/carers. We would rather wait for all records to be with us than to send information to some families and not others. I would stress that the timeline for record transfer is as normal, but know that pupils and families will be more aware of the move to St. Joseph’s while schools are closed.

Message from Mr Boyle

A welcome video will go out this week or early next week. S1 classes are completed in terms of allocation. We consulted with Primary Heads and P7 teachers on positive peer groupings, as the Pastoral visits that would normally help with this were cancelled due to closure. There will be 4 S1 classes and an intake of 104.

All ASN information has gone to Mrs Hoy and she is aware of those requiring Learning support as Transition 1 meetings took place prior to closure.

Packs including timetables, transport information and school/East Ayrshire policies will be emailed in to P7 parents in June.

Individual departments may put their own introductory videos in the coming weeks.

Thank you so much to all of the boys and girls who entered the competition to design a new t-shirt for Marty.

There were so many wonderful designs that Marty had to ask Mrs McConville to help him choose! We are very pleased to announce that the winner is Katie MacKinnon. Well done!

Mrs Taylor has her sewing machine at the ready to turn your design into a real t-shirt for our favourite bear!

Hi boys and girls,

We hope you enjoyed today’s story. It is one of our favourites as it has lots of numbers and things to count!!

Why don’t you watch and listen to the story again and point to the numbers you see. Do you recognise them? Perhaps you could count the animals/birds on each of the pages.

Now that you have finished the story, do you think you could go on a number hunt around your house or when you are out on a walk?? Look out for any of the numbers you saw in the story today! Where do you think you might find numbers?

Here are some that Marty has spied already!

We would love you to take a photograph of any numbers you do find, and if possible, could you send them in to Mrs McGahon?

Happy Number Hunting!!

Lots of love,

Mrs Duff and Mrs Dunsmore xxx

Hi boys and girls. My name is Mrs Webb. I love working in the infant department and cannot wait to see your smiling faces. We have a fabulous school and wonderful teachers.

Hello boys and girls. My name is Mrs Jeffers. I like to paint, dance and play lots of playground games. I’m excited to meet you all and hear all about what you enjoy. See you soon. x

Hi,

I hope you and your families are healthy and happy and are enjoying some very special time together. Here is your learning for the week ahead.

Remember there is no expectation that you should complete all of the things on the grids, you do what is right for your family circumstances.

I love hearing from all of the children and I am super proud of each and every one of them.

Keep being awesome!!

Take care,

Love from Mrs McCreadie xx

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.

We finish our assembly today by thanking God for our families, our NHS and key workers.

Continue to stay safe boys and girls. Show love to the people around you, we love and miss you all.

All the staff at Mount Carmel Primary School.

Together we are #Team MC

Our Book Bug session with Mrs Taylor is now available on our school website to view whenever you like!

If you love singing and listening to stories then give it a go! A great one to do with younger brothers and sisters or your favourite teddy!
