Yesterday Sophie in Primary 3 drew this fabulous Mission to the Moon picture. Look at those wonderful planets and stars! 

Everyone at Mount Carmel is continuing to work very, very hard to reach our target on our Mission to the Moon!

We were delighted to have had some special visitors to the school last week to meet with our Eco Committee and have a look at all the hard work we have been doing to promote Mount Carmel’s Mission to the Moon journey. We are super proud to have our picture on the East Ayrshire Launch page promoting our journey.

This is the first week of our “Mission to the Moon” where we are encouraging families in active travel to and from school.

Please encourage children to walk, cycle, scoot to school and help us build up our S-miles and reach our targets. If a Parent/carer/sibling participates too they also collect S-miles!

And they’re off!……………………….
