This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week.

During the course of the week, the children will be watching a powerpoint which highlights the challenges and strengths of dyslexic learners. They will also promote discussion around dyslexia using discussion cards .

As it is approaching Rememberance Day on 11th November, we will again be visiting classes to offer pupils a poppy in return for a donation via our poppy collection tin. 

Two of our P7 pupils will go round the classes at 2.30pm each day from tomorrow until 10th November.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a great big thankyou from all of the staff and children at Mount Carmel to our friends at FOMC, for arranging the fantastic Halloween disco we all had the pleasure of enjoying this year.  We all had the best time enjoying all of the fun and games and eating the delicious treats you had for us.  We are so very grateful for all of your help and support.
