A reminder that Sports Day is tomorrow!

Where possible, if children can wear their House colours. If you are unsure of which House your child is in, please contact the school office.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is sunny!🌞.

Please apply sun cream to your child/children prior to coming to school.  Also,  if a small bottle could be popped into their schoolbag just in case, along with a hat/sunglasses.

All children should bring a water bottle with them.

Please note though that the children will have to apply their own sun cream themselves. 

What a wonderful day we have had on our whole school trip. The children (and staff) have had great fun.

Tomorrow is our whole school trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park. 

Just a few little bits of housekeeping to take note of prior to the trip:

1. All children attending the trip should be in school by 9am sharp to allow the teachers to take the register, organise lunches, medication/first aid and groupings.
2. Any children NOT attending the trip should NOT come into school as there is no staff provision for them.
3. Children should wear school polo shirt and sweatshirt and should have on leggings or joggers  (not shorts) as they will be using the slides at the soft play.  Socks must also be worn .
4. Packed lunches from home should be brought in a carrier bag so it can be disposed of afterwards. 
5. Buses will leave the school at 9.30am sharp.

At the end of the day children will be dismissed from their classes at the usual time.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather and hope everyone has a fun day!

Recently at Mount Carmel, we were lucky enough to experience the curiosity cube and it’s team. This cube explores A.I. in our world and how it affects our day to day lives. The children took part in quizzes, puzzles and even had a go at coding. A great day was had and we would like to thank the team at MERCK , especially Caitlin, for this amazing opportunity.  Here are some of our wonderful children (and staff) enjoying the cube!

Today we performed our last Joseph show.  Our summer show was a fantastic celebration of talent and teamwork. The children were fantastic throughout the full rehearsal period and performances.

Another huge thank you to all the staff who helped behind the scenes, and of course the families and friends who can to support and cheer on the children. Your encouragement means the world to our young performers.

To help us make future shows even better, please take a few minutes to complete a short survey. This short survey is designed to gather parent/carer views on both our P1-3 Nativity and Summer Show. Your responses will help us celebrate what we do well and make improvements for future shows.

We have today sent out in children’s bags 70 letters to parents/carers of children who have yet to either pay for or return required permission forms or ALL of the above for our summer school trip.

Unfortunately due to the time involved  in organising multiple forms to be sent out we will not be in the position to offer any more replacement forms, therefore if we do not receive payment and completed outstanding forms by the 30th May your child WILL NOT  attend the trip and will have to stay at home on the day of the trip.

Texts messages have also been sent to parents/carers of the children who have been issued letters today.

Please see below a list of costumes each pupil is required to bring to school NO LATER THAN NEXT WEDNESDAY in a plastic bag clearly labelled with their name & class

Pupils in the chorus are asked to wear black trousers/leggings and a plain, bright coloured top. We do have spare tops in school if required.

Thank you,

Mrs Terras
