Tomorrow (24th November), following on from Book Week(Scotland), the Primary 1-3’s will be having a pyjama  and story afternoon. Children in P 1-3- only, are invited to come to school in their pyjamas if they wish and can also bring a book with them .

• Location – Kilmarnock Masonic Hall, London Road, Kilmarnock
• Dates – Wednesday 8th December and Thursday 9th December
• Times – 11am till 4pm

If you or any families you know are in need of assistance or help with Christmas presents for any children please go along to the Masonic Hall on the above dates where you will be able to choose from a huge selection of toys/games etc, for children of all ages.

We are in the process of organising our annual class festive calendars. These will be available to order as of today through Parentpay at a cost of £2 per each. Orders will be handed out to pupils  week beginning 20th December.

We have tried our very best to include every pupil in our class calendar but this has proven tricky this year due to the number of children currently off throughout the school. We appreciate your understanding.

The last day for ordering your calendar is Friday 10th December!

If you have been sent a letter from the NHS regarding sending your child for a PCR test we kindly request that you send a copy of a negative result before your child returns to school. This can be emailed to:

eaMountCarmel.PS@eastayrshire.org.uk

We are looking forward to discussing your child’s progress with you next week.

Appointment times have been set for 10 mins and we ask that this be adhered to, to avoid delays for others.

Primary 2/3 have been looking at ‘Energy Around Us’ as part of our new topics.  We have been focussing on toys that need to be ‘pushed’ or ‘pulled’ to move.  This week we made our very own ‘Penny Spinners’ which require a pushing twist action to get it to move.  We moved into the open area to find a large smooth surface to test our spinners. Have a look at our wonderful designs and finished spinners…

Thank you to our excellent Primary 7 editors and camera operators as well as Mr Bertoncini.

We are pleased to announce that on Friday  19th November children in Primary 1 will receive their Bookbug Family Bag and children in Primary 2 and Primary 3 will receive their Read Write Count bags.

The children will bring these home to share with you.  We would be grateful if you were able to take some photographs and send these to the class teacher.  If you are happy we would then like to share these photographs on our blog too.

As you will remember from our November Newsletter we will have a special afternoon of activities on Wednesday 24th November.  Children in P1-3 can come to school dressed in their pyjamas, bring a cuddly toy and bring their favourite book from the gifted bags.  The teachers have planned a lovely afternoon for the boys and girls.  The Primary 7 children will be there to help the children enjoy the activities as well as milk and cookies.

We look forward to sharing photographs next week.
