Our Friends of Mount Carmel Easter Raffle is now closed!

The raffle will be drawn this Friday. Good Luck everyone!

A reminder that this Friday 4th April the school will close at 2.30pm for the Easter Break. Children who travel by taxi will be collected at 2pm.

Our winning House- Earth, had a fabulous time this morning at Jungle Madness.  All the children behaved wonderfully and enjoyed having their picture taken with Elmo!

Thank you to everyone who supported our Book Fair last week, it was a huge success!

We took in over £800 in online purchases and as a result we now have over £400 worth of Scholastic rewards to spend on books for the school.

On Wednesday, we welcomed into school our beautiful Sister Juliet and Frank from SCIAF.  Frank talked to us about where our money was going and why our fundraising is so important.

We are so proud of our children in Mount Carmel School, raising so much money for people who are less fortunate than us. To quote Frank, our children are “a shining example pf what a well behaved school looks like.”

Well done to everyone!

Next Friday the children in P3 will be watching Moana 2 , the movie. This film is rated PG. If you do not wish your child to watch this movie please contact the school office and let us know.

Thanks

A reminder that tomorrow and Wednesday are our Pupil Progress Meetings.  If  you are unsure of your child’s appointment time please contact the school office. 

There will be no P5/6 boys football on Wednesday 26th due to this.

Primary 6 took advantage of the beautiful sunshine today and got out and about completing some data handling in our local community.

We were so excited to kick off our SCIAF FUN DAY with a visit from STRYDER.

Stryder helps us to walk to school as much as we can as it helps us to keep fit and helps our environment too!!

We would like to congratulate our wonderful children in making their sacrament of Reconciliation. They were absolutely wonderful and we agree with Father Jim that they behaved like angels.

Well done everyone 💙

We are delighted to announce that we will have a very special visitor in our playground tomorrow morning. Stryder will be in school before 9 o’clock to welcome the children in before the day begins, Make sure to give them a big wave if you see them!

We are excited to let you know that we have just booked our whole school summer trip  to Heads of Ayr Farm Park!

The trip is booked for Wednesday 18th June . The buses will leave the school at 9.30am and the children will be back at school in time for normal school pick up at 3pm. 

If your child does not wish to attend the trip, they will need to stay at home on the day as there will be no provision for them in school.

We are very grateful to St. Vincent De Paul  who have made a very generous  donation towards our buses which has helped to keep the cost per child down.

We have set up the trip on Parentpay today with an initial NON- REFUNDABLE deposit of £8 payable by Friday 2nd May . This will leave only one more payment of £8 to be paid by Friday 30th May.

Permission forms will be sent home this week.  These must be returned no later than Friday 30th May. 

Reminder that Share the Learning for Primary 3 will take place on Monday 24th March at 2pm.

      Reminder  that  parents/carers should not use the Crossgates Care Home Car Park when dropping off or collecting their children.

This is a private car park for use of staff & resident families ONLY 

Access should always be given to Emergency Service vehicles and overcrowding of this car park could prevent this from happening.

Please be considerate at all times when dropping off or collecting your children 

Thankyou 

Reminder

SCIAF Activities

Our wonderful P6 class were invited along to East Ayrshire’s STEM event at St Joseph’s Academy this week. There, they met the other P6 children from our Education group and began forming friendships which marks the beginning of their transition to the high school. The activities ranged from a virtual tour of a submarine from the Royal Navy, to programming and coding robots. Everyone had great fun!! We definitely have some future engineers at Mount Carmel.

A reminder that this tomorrow is World Book Day!

Children can come to school in their own clothes or dressed as a character from their favourite book. Each child will receive a World Book Day book token.

We are asking kindly for a £1 donation in cash to add to our SCIAF boxes.

Appointment times for the forthcoming Pupil Progress Meetings were sent home in school bags on Friday.  Please check your child’s bag for these.

If you are unsure of when your appointment is please contact the school office.

Primary 3 Share the Learning will take place on Monday 24th march at 2pm in school.
