Thank you to FOMC who have kindly organised a special Friday treat for the whole school tomorrow.  The ice cream van is making a return visit!

We will wrap up warm and enjoy a lovely treat.  If you do not wish your child to have an ice cream please contact the school directly.

Thank you to Stephanie and all of the kitchen staff for a fantastic Christmas dinner.  We all thoroughly enjoyed it!

Friday 10th December is Christmas Jumper Day!

Children can come to school wearing a festive jumper if they wish.

Here are some of our Primary 4 children who made their Sacrament of Reconciliation last night at St Joseph’s church.

Primary 1/2 have been very busy making these pop-up snowmen and Christmas fidgets to sell as their Christmas crafts. What a great job!

Primary 7 have been making Christmas crackers to sell as their Christmas craft item. They look fantastic!….well done P7!

A reminder that today we have a small selection of Christmas jumpers available at the front foyer.

Thank you very much for those that have been able to send these in.

Our winning house is……..Water !

Well done to everyone in the Water House!  All the children in the Water house will be having a Movie morning with popcorn and  then cooking with Stephanie in the afternoon . This will be on Thursday 9th December.

The film the children will be watching is Elf, which is a  PG rated . If your child is in the Water house and you would rather they did not watch this film please contact the school office.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Primary 4 and Primary 5 Advent Service at the church at 1.45pm.

We are delighted to announce that we will soon be able to share our filming of the Primary 1-3 Nativity as well as Primary 4-7 singing Christmas songs.  This will be shared via a password protected SWAY link.  The password will be texted to the main contact for each child.

If you do not wish your child to be featured in this filming please contact the school as soon as possible.

If children wish to they can send Christmas cards to their classmates, unfortunately the school is unable to provide class lists to parents.

We are now taking orders for our Primary 7 Leavers’ Hoodies . They can be paid for now through Parentpay at a cost of £10 each . The full cost should be  £19.50 but this has kindly been subsidised  by Friends of Mount Carmel.  

We will be posting pictures of each of our classes’ Christmas Crafts as and when they have a sample ready. Here is a sample of Primary 5’s Christmas Cottages which they will be making, aren’t they beautiful?……..
