Dear Parents and Guardians,
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday which is the 2nd March this year. Mount Carmel wants to focus on helping people less fortunate than us at this special time.
This Lent, SCIAF is asking us to act and pray in hope, to fight the Climate Emergency and help build God’s Kingdom here on Earth.
As part of our Lenten celebration within school, Primary 4 have organised the following activities for the weeks of Lent:
3rd March 2022 – World book Day (children should come to school dressed as a character from a book).
11th March 2022 – Outdoor activity afternoon (children can bring their scooters, bikes, skipping ropes or any other outdoor toy to play with in the afternoon. Please be advised that all children bringing a bike or a scooter MUST also bring a helmet to wear for health and safety reasons).
18th March 2022 – Activities day (each class will be given a time slot to take part in a range of activities. These activities include an Easter colouring competition, beat the goalie, egg and spoon race, selfie booth and decorate a cupcake (Please contact the school with any allergies that would stop your child from participating in this activity).
25th March 2022 – Pyjama and movie afternoon (children can wear their pyjamas to school and will watch a movie of their choice within their classrooms. The children can also bring a small snack for this).
1st April – Easter egg raffle/Teddy bear Raffle (tickets will be on sale from the 3rd March and the winner will be chosen on this day).
Raffle tickets will go on sale on the 3rd March and will cost 20p each. For the Easter egg raffle, there will be a class egg and then all the pupils who have bought a ticket will go into a big raffle for the school egg.
For the other activities, we kindly ask for a donation. Please be as generous as you feel able to be. It is for a very worthy cause.
The children can bring cash into the school for these activities and will be asked to put their donations straight into the SCIAF boxes within their classes.
A great big thank you in advance for all of your support.
Mrs. McCreadie and the boys and girls in Primary 4.
