Mirror Image
This game requires coordination, copying another person like you are looking in a mirror. If the instructor raises their right hand, the other person raises their left. Take turns at being the instructor and the mirror image. Try moving different body parts and concentrate and think about what part of your body you must move, like looking in a mirror.
Try doing the same with facial expressions. Can you make a face displaying one of our comfortable/uncomfortable Paths emotions? Can you, or the other person name the emotion being expressed? Talk about what that emotion looks like and how you may feel when you express that emotion.
What is in the box/bag?
This is a game we often use in our Willow Room, which encourages the children to listen for/use good descriptive words to describe an item in the box/bag? Find an empty box or bag and fill it with small items and toys. Make sure the box/bag is not transparent as the item should remain hidden.
The child places their hand in the bag and without revealing the item, describes how it looks and feels to another person when they hold it in their hand. This is a sensory activity, so having items with different textures would be good. The other person will then guess what the item is, based on the description given. The child and the other person can then swap places, and the child can guess what the next item is.
AS always, stay safe, stay well, and take care! Together we are Team MC!

Lyn, who is Lauren in P2’s Aunt. She is working hard at a care home.
Amy, family friend of Aimee in P6. She is working for the NHS at Crosshouse!

And finally…Our very own Mr McMillan who retires this week, he has kept our school running over the last few weeks (not to mention years) making sure it will be ready when we all get to be together again! We have a sneaky suspicion people will clap for him!
We are so proud and grateful to all of you. We will clap for you all tonight. Together we are Team MC.
Hello boys and girls. My name is Mrs Taylor and I am looking forward to meeting you in P1. I love reading stories, singing nursery rhymes and making crafts, hope you do too! See you soon x
Hello boys and girls,
It has been lovely to see all of your fabulous photos coming in. Marty has been so excited to see all of your drawings that he decided he would draw a picture of himself too!
Like all of you, Marty has been enjoying his time in the sun. He has his sunglasses and his sun hat but he has been getting awfully warm when he is outside playing with his ball. His lovely Mount Carmel jumper is perfect for school time but he would love a t-shirt for having fun in the sun!
Do you think you could help Marty stay cool by designing a t-shirt for him? What do you think he would like it to look like? Which colours do you think he would like? Would he like a picture or pattern on it?
We would love for you to use your imagination to create Marty a t-shirt and then send it to Mrs McGahon. We will let Marty pick which one he likes best and our very talented Mrs Taylor is going to make it for him to wear!! Marty will then be able to model it for you all to see!
We really hope you can help us and we can’t wait to see what fantastic t-shirt designs you come up with.
Have fun getting creative everyone!
Lots of love,
Mrs Duff and Mrs Dunsmore xxx

Good morning from all of us to all of you. As always, we hope that you are well and finding positive ways to navigate through these strange times.

If at any time you need to contact us please do so using the online form. Stay Safe. Together we are Team MC.
Please remember self care for adults is so important too.
And finally, some Monday Motivation…
Activity Ideas
A few more activities to try at home if your child is feeling worried or anxious. They are designed to help them talk through and resolve the anxiety or create a sense of calm whilst focussing on texture or listening for instructions.
Simon Says
The Simon Says game is a great way to encourage getting the body moving and relieving tight body muscles whilst having some fun. It aims to get your child listening to another person and being able to follow instructions in a fun way.
If the adult starts by giving instructions, such as ‘Simon says jog on the spot’, ‘Simon says touch your toes’, ‘Simon says do star jumps’ and the child will follow these instructions. How well are they listening?
The child should only complete the instruction if it starts with ‘Simon Says’. Give a final instruction, ‘touch your nose’ and see if the child completes the instruction or not. If not, they can become the instructor and if they do, they try again.
Finger Painting
Finger painting is a great way to relax and have some messy fun. Either out in the garden or on a table indoors with a wipeable table cover. Start by putting out two trays, a different colour of paint in each. Kids can begin by mixing the two colours on paper and talk about what happens when mixed. Then make marks or patterns, using their fingers and talk about how the paint feels on their skin.
What happens when you put a dollop of paint on the paper and pull a comb or run a toy car through the paint? Is there anything else you could use to create a pattern? Why not take a print of the patterns you have created by gently placing a piece of paper on top, gently peal back and leaving it to dry?
Why not change the texture by adding sand? How does that feel when you mix it with your fingers? Or use shaving foam instead? How does it make you feel when you touch these different textures?
Worry Dolls
Worry Dolls are a great way for your child to explore the different emotions we experience by creating a doll for each emotion. Why not start with 6 feelings such as: happy, sad, worried, frightened, excited and tired. You can add to the collection as your child discovers new emotions.
Using large wooden clothes pegs, colour, paint or create clothes for their doll using fabric or wool. On the head (rounded top), draw in the emotion each peg represents and this will become the face.
Bedtime is a good time to use these, although your child can play with these dolls throughout the day to talk/work through or role play any emotions, comfortable/uncomfortable, they may be experiencing. It can aide a restful night’s sleep, if your child is able to discuss these emotions before bed, releasing the ‘worry’ or feeling that may be making it hard for them to sleep.
Stay safe!
Here is your topic work for the week ahead…Get outside and find some bugs!!
