Unfortunately, this Wednesday will be the last session of our P5/6 after school  Boys Football Club.  We are aware that this club was intended to run until the end of term, however, due to unforeseen circumstances we have to cut this short.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Parents/carers are invited to attend at the following times only:

Our very last Wider Achievement assembly of the session is on 20th June 2025. Lets make it the best yet!

Please help us celebrate the children’s achievements by sending in a photo and short sentence explaining what they have achieved. This can be anything from overcoming a fear, to participating in a show or moving up a belt in karate.

We love to hear what the pupils are participating in when not at school.

Send your photos and a short sentence to eamountcarmel.ps@eastayrshire.org.uk

I look forward to seeing them all!!

Thank you, Mrs McCreadie

We are pleased to be in the position to offer the breakfast Club provision to our children for session 2025-26.

As with previous years there are only a limited number of places available, if you would like your child to be considered for a space for Session 2025/26 please complete the application form which can be found in the link below

The wait is finally over. The curiosity cube has arrived and is currently being set up in our playground for the children to explore.  We can’t wait until tomorrow 💙

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,

Our Sports Day will take place on Wednesday 4th June this year. Fingers crossed for good weather🤞 Please have a look below at our timetable for the day. 

We will be having a Dress Down Day on Friday 30th May, where children will have the opportunity to bring into school an item (no  perishable items) for the House Hamper Raffle these items should be in your child’s house colours please:

Fire – Red 

Earth – Green

Air – Yellow

Water – Blue

Raffle tickets are now available for purchase on Parentpay.

After the success of last years House Hamper Raffle Our Friends and Parent Council have decided to organise this  fundraising event again this year to help raise some funds for our children in Mount Carmel. 

We will be holding another Dress Down Day on Friday 30th May and are asking that each child (if they can) bring in an item of their house colour for the raffle. For example if your child was in the red house (fire), they could bring in a tin of ready salted Pringles.  If you could support us with this we would very much appreciate it. The tickets for the raffle will then be sold for £1 and we will have 4 winners, a winner for each of our houses.

Good Luck everyone!!

Rehearsals are in full swing, and the excitement is building! The cast and crew have been working incredibly hard, learning lines, perfecting songs and bringing scenes to life. Below is a sneak peek of some of the show highlights…

We still have a large number of outstanding payments and/or permission forms for our forthcoming school trip. 

The final date for payment is 30th May which is next Friday.

Unfortunately, if payment has not been made by this date, your child/children will be unable to attend as we cannot then purchase a ticket for them .  

If your child/children are not attending the trip, they will be unable to come into school on that day as there will be no teaching provision for them and will therefore have to stay at home.

Thank You

Our wonderful Primary 6 are getting ready to welcome their buddies for fun filled activities during their Welcome Wednesday transition day this week.

Father Stephen would like to apologise for the late notice of this celebration to parishioners at St Joseph Church.

However if any of our children are planning to attend St Josephs Church on Sunday we would like to ask if they could possibly attend wearing their Mount Carmel Primary School uniform and if they could sit with Miss Dorby in the allocated seats for our school.

Thankyou 

If you  have returned your yellow slip with your request for show tickets, please go to Parentpay where you will now be able to pay for those tickets.

If you wish tickets for the show but have still  to return the slip please do so asap and in any case no later than Friday 23rd May. 

If you require a new form please contact the school office.

Thank you

Our Sports Day will take place on Wednesday 4th June this year. Fingers crossed for good weather🤞. There will be more information to follow nearer the time. In the meantime, please have a look below at our timetable for the day. 

Please pray for our Primary 4 children as they prepare for their First Communion

We have received notification that P7 pupils will be able to access school transport on the May transition days however we are waiting to here what will happen with the June transition days and we will share this information as soon as we have it.

Please see previous communication regarding times dates etc for transition.

School Summer trips are a great way for our children to enjoy a fun filed day out with their class mates.

Unfortunately we have a LARGE number of permission forms that have still to be returned to us as well as a LARGE number of payments for the trip still outstanding –  this payment item has been available on Parentpay accounts since the 21st March amd will remain open until Friday 30th May.

If you have still to return your child’s form or make payment for the trip, this must be done by 30th May or your child WILL NOT  be able to attend the school trip and will therefore have to stay at home on the day of the trip as there will be no teaching provision on the day and this will be marked as an unauthorised absence.

We also have a number of lunch forms outstanding  these MUST be returned to us by 30th May or we will be unable to arrange  a packed lunch for your child from the kitchen should they require one.

Thanks

Mrs Fergusson 

Head Teacher
