Home Learning Assembly Friday 1st May

Hello boys and girls and welcome to our first Home Learning Assembly.

We hope that you are all doing well and we all miss you so much.
This is a bit of a different assembly, we are not all together in the hall but we thought it would be nice if we could still all come together in a special way each week.
Just the way that we would normally do, let’s start of with a prayer together, let’s take a moment to speak to God and to thank him for all that He is doing for us.
Please God continue to look after us all and keep us safe.
Lord in your mercy,
Hear our Prayer.
​This week we would like to thank  you all for the great work that is being completed at home.  Mrs McGahon and Mrs Fergusson have been speaking to many parents at home to see how you are all doing.  They have been telling us great things about the work you have been completing.  Many of you have been sending in photographs of what you have been doing at home, you class teachers have really  enjoyed looking at all of these things.  Well done and keep up the hard work.
We have also had lots of great things sent for the lovely Mr McMillan.  As you were told last week Mr McMillan will soon be retiring, Mrs Templeton has been collecting all of  you poems, stories and pictures to make a lovely book for Mr McMillan to show how much we are going to miss him.  Thank you all so much for working on these things, don’t worry if you haven’t had time to send in something you can still make a picture.  Once we are all back together we will do something special for him and you can pass any of your lovely things to him then.
 
We have a new request for you for this week.  Bishop Nolan has asked for lovely pictures of our priests to be sent to him, these will be used to fill the seats of the Cathedral in Ayr during this time when we cannot fill them with people.  This can be sent by an adult through facebook or you can send to Mrs McGahon at Joanna.mcgahon@eastayrshire.org.uk We will then pass these pictures on for you.
 
As we always do during our assembly it is now time for our Star Pupils.  We are sending virtual certificates out this week to:
 
Primary 1 – Mrs Duff “I am going to nominate Jessica as she has tried so hard in all of her tasks and really used her imagination. She chose to make our class Olaf a sun house from her 3D junk modelling challenge !! So proud of her.”
Primary 2 – Mrs Dunsmore “My pupil of the week is Casper. He has worked extremely hard during  the home learning period. He has been completing all tasks that have been set to a very high standard. I am very proud of Casper.”
Primary 3 – Mrs McCreadie “My pupil of the week is Taylor.  He has been a superstar completing all his jobs and sending pictures of things he has been doing with Mum.  He also ran the 5K to raise money for NHS.
Primary 4 – Mrs Strachan ” My pupil is Harry, he has been amazing completing the Home Learning Tasks.  He also made a clips video too!”
Primary 5 – Mrs McIntyre “My star pupil is Tilly for completing all jobs and sending it everyday and including pictures of her creativity and dress design.”
Primary 6 – Mrs Mackinnon ” I would like to recognise Aimee from P6 for her consistent effort and fabulous research on Famous French People.”
Primary 7 – Miss Mudge “I nominate Olivia S. She’s been completing all the core tasks. She’s also been great at getting in contact with some of the other P7’snd she has helped others with some tasks. – Well done Olivia”
Let’s finish our assembly today by thanking God for all of our Key Workers who have been doing so much to keep us all safe.  If you have time take a look at our Wellbeing Blog which this week has so many of our amazing carers.
 
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 #TeamMC

Hello!

 

 

Hello boys and girls,

Mrs Duff and Mrs Dunsmore are so excited to be able to keep in touch with you!!! We know Marty bear is missing seeing you all in our school so he will be delighted too!!!!

We hope you have all been having lots of fun at home with your families, especially during the lovely sunny weather.

We have been busy drawing pictures of ourselves so that you can see us on your screens anytime you like! We would also love to be able to see all of you………so do you think you could you do a very special job for us? 

Could you draw a fantastic picture of yourself and ask a grown up to take a photograph of you holding it, just like we did? Then you could send it in to Mrs McGahon and we can put all the photographs of our new Primary 1 friends together. 

We can’t wait to see all of your lovely faces again!

Love Mrs Duff and Mrs Dunsmore xxxx

Unfortunately, there has to be cut off point….so please do not send anymore as sadly we won’t be able to add them in now. However, you could still make something for him and keep it at home till our schools go back and bring it in then and we will pass them on to Mr McMillan.

P7 Transition Update

Good Morning,

Below is an update from St Joseph’s regarding P7 transition.

 P7 Transition to S1
 
Our P7 transition events can no longer take place. However, Mr Boyle and our Pastoral Care team have our transition packs ready to go. We are currently determining how best to share these packs with you and plan to create a dedicated page on our website for our incoming P7 cohort. We anticipate that this page will be live in mid to late May.

We will let P7 Parents and Carers know when this page becomes available.

Thank you,

Miss Mudge

Monday Motivation!

Another Monday, some days fly by and others pass slower.  As always we hope that all our families are well, and staying safe at home. P6 designed a Monday Motivation banner to help lift spirits, we think it is Fab!

At MC primary we use PATHS as one of our Health and Wellbeing resources. We would love you at home to pick a ‘Family Member of the Day’. We usually have a ‘Pupil of the Day’ who receives compliments from their classmates. Adapting to our current situation, we would love if families could share this experience.

Look after yourself and each other. Together we are Team MC.

Give it a try!

Good morning on this beautiful sunny Monday morning.

A few more activities to try at home. It is always good to take a short break from schoolwork activities and these ideas are great for a short brain break:

Busy Bags

Creating a ‘busy bag’ for your child is a great way to have a 10-minute break from schoolwork, or a chance to have quiet time if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Using the resources in the bag, children can fidget, build, or make a craft item.

Fill the bag with craft items such as pom poms, stickers, collage type materials, pens, pencils, small pad of paper, glue, pipe cleaners or any other items your child will want to get creative with. What can they create?

Try putting some Lego pieces or toy cars in the bag too and children can build a small object or roll the cars around on the floor. These are good ways to help a child self-regulate and ‘switch off’ to the world for a short time.

 

Brain Breaks

Our brains are a muscle and need exercise too. Challenge your child to the test below.

The first test is easier, ask your child to read the colours as written. Then ask them to say the colour of the word. This is more challenging as it is asking your left and right side of the brain to work against each other. Left wants to read the colour, right wants to say the colour it sees.  Give it a try!

 

‘I Am…’ Poem

To remind your child of how fantastic they are, and to fill their thoughts with positivity, ask them to create an ‘I Am..’ poem, and to be honest about their worries and their hopes and dreams. You can use the template below or as a guide to creating your own.

Stay safe and well!

Welcome to the P1 Transition Group page for children starting Mount Carmel Primary School in August this year.
We really loved seeing all the boys and girls when you visited the school before the holidays and we hope that you are all very excited about coming to join us in August.

However, we are sad that we are now not going to see you all for a while. We would love to keep in touch as you are all now part of our Mount Carmel family.
Any family who would like to be part of this could they please contact Mrs. McGahon at:
Joanna.mcgahon@eastayrshire.org.uk

Mr. McMillan is retiring- we need your help!

 

We are sad to announce that Mr. McMillan, our long serving school janitor will be retiring on May 5th this year. Mr McMillan will be turning 70 this year and has decided to hang up his keys for good!He has been part of the Mount Carmel family for 20 years and we obviously want to mark this in a special way. It is such a shame under the circumstances that the school will be closed on his last day and that we will be unable to celebrate with him in person! BUT…..we have a plan. 

We would love if as many children as possible can send in either a drawing, a memory or a short poem about Mr McMillan. We will collate them all and have them made into a special Photobook as a keepsake for him. Please remember to add your name to the front of your work!  If you need any tips for ideas here are a few:

He will be 70 in July, he has been at Mount Carmel for 20 years, he loves music, he used to play football, his favourite football team is Auchinleck Talbot .

Please send entries in to me (Mrs Templeton) :   

gillian.templeton@eastayrshire.org.uk

We have a very short time span on this and really need your entries in asap and at the very latest by 9am next Tuesday( 28th).

Hope you are well.

Our Mount Carmel family hope that you are well, these times can be daunting for adults and children alike. Here are some resources that may help emotional health, some for adults and some for children. Stay safe. Together we are Team MC.

            

And finally some Monday Motivation…

As always if you need to contact the staff for any questions or support please use online form.

Welcome Back!

Hello and welcome back!

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed some sunny weather in their gardens. It is still a very strange time for us all, our routines have completely changed, and we are missing seeing everyone in school.

Below are a couple of ideas you could do at home with your children, to help children talk about how they are feeling, what they are missing and to help us to share our thoughts as a family.

Conversation Café

Set up a ‘conversation café’ at home, ask the children to help set a table for afternoon tea, in the house or in the garden and let them help serve some sandwiches or sweet treats. It’s always nice to have some cake, a cuppa and a chat together. The attached photo suggests some conversation starters you could have together, which will encourage children to think about happiness.

Friendship Card

Like many of us, your children will be missing seeing their friends from school and may be finding it hard to understand why they can’t have a play date or a catch up with friends.

Encourage your child to make a ‘friendship card’ for a school friend.  They can design and decorate their card with all the things they know their friend will like.  Ask your child to write a personal message to their friend, writing about all the things they miss about their friend and what they hope they will do together once life returns to normal.

As always, any child who feels they would like a chat, can email me through Glow at any time and I will be sure to respond.

Take Care
