Dear Parents/Carers,
I am delighted to say all of our children are now settling into Mount Carmel after such a long time at home. They have so enjoyed seeing their friends and teachers and it has been a joy to see them.
As there is still instances of Covid 19 in our community we continue to be vigilant and observe all the mitigating factors such as hand washing, social distancing and wearing face coverings. I would ask that you continue to social distance from other adults when dropping of or picking up your children.
We have adapted our playground zones to ensure children are remaining in their social bubbles as much as possible. We have adapted our routines at lunchtime meaning children no longer need to eat in their classrooms. We will continue to adapt any arrangements or routines as circumstances change and develop. Indeed, after yesterday we have changed the exit gate for P4 and P6/7 and we will always look to make things the best we can for our school community.
It has been a very long year. When Mrs Fergusson and I closed the school In March 2020 we didn’t think we would still be having to manage Covid 19 as a factor of our daily school life in March 2021. Hopefully things are beginning to change for the better.
As always, if you have any concerns or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please complete this short survey and share your views on writing. The survey should take around 5 minutes to complete and will close on Friday 19th March.
Tomorrow after lunch, our P1-3 classes will be having “Rainbow Reward ” time. The boys and girls will be watching a movie and having a cosy afternoon as a special reward for being such superstars since coming back to school full time in February. The children can bring a teddy to school with them to cuddle while watching the movie.
Currently within Mount Carmel Primary we are looking to improve our current writing provision. We are keen to hear the opinions of all within the school community about writing and how we can take this forward.
If you would be interested in sharing your views there will be a parent/carers session on Tuesday 9th March at 2:00pm. This will take place using vscene.
Please complete the form below and details of how to access this writing discussion group will then be sent to you.

We will soon be ordering our “Leaver’s Hoodies” for our Primary 7 pupils. These will be at a cost of £10 to parents/carers and will be available as of today to order via Parent Pay.
Primary 1-3At the moment, there are no set days for P.E for our Infant classes. Children are welcome to wear suitable trousers/joggers so they are comfortable when doing outdoor activities etc.

Recently we asked pupils and parents/carers to provide their views on remote learning. Please click on the links below to see the full responses to these surveys and the changes we made in response to this, ‘you said we did’.
This new payment will pay the equivalent of £10 per week for every child under the age of 6 living in a low income household and receiving a qualifying benefit such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit or one of the legacy benefits.
Can we remind Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 Parents/Carers that when bringing children to schoolin the morning they should drop them off and leave straight away.
Please do not enter the school playground or congregate in the vicinity of the school gates or area surrounding the school.
The infant staff at Mount Carmel are very excited to welcome the children back to school on Monday. In preperation for this, the team have prepared a short video for each of the classes to get the children ready for their return. We would really appreciate it if our parents could make sure the children watch these videos as there is information for parents and children regarding the new rules we have put in place. Your class teachers will send you these videos on the usual platforms (email for P1 and P2 and TEAMS for P3)See you all on Monday!!
