A message from our Head Teacher

28/06/2022

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we reach the final school days in June I wanted to get in touch to thank you all for your kindness and support this school year.  It has been a challenging year and we are forever grateful for your patience and understanding as we have continued to navigate the changing times.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to some members of our staff team.  Miss McKenna and Miss Mulhern have been fantastic additions to our school this year and I am sure you will join me in wishing them well with their future careers.

It is with a great sense of pride that we bid farewell to our Primary 7 children as they continue on their educational journey.  We wish them well as they take this next step and will continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers.  I look forward to hearing great things about them as they flourish in the future.

School returns at 9am on Thursday 18th August.  A reminder that after the holidays we are continuing to encourage the children to have full school uniform each day. Black/Grey trousers or skirt with blue/white shirts and ties or a polo shirt as well as a blue school jumper. On PE days children will get changed in school.  A PE kit can be left in school on their peg or brought in on each of their PE days.

We are pleased that our Breakfast Club is now able to return after the holidays.  All parent/carers that requested a place were emailed last week detailing if a place was/was not available.  We had a high response for this, unfortunately our numbers are limited so a waiting list is now in place. Breakfast Club returns on Monday 22nd August.

We wish you all a happy and enjoyable holiday time and hope that you will enjoy spending some family time together.  We look forward to seeing you all again in August.

With love and thanks,

Mrs Fergusson

P7 Keyrings/Spinning Tops/Tic Tac Toe

Image result for Free clip Art Technical difficulties

We are very sorry to say that the 3D printer we were using to make the P7 keyrings/spinning tops and tic tac toe has broken and we are unable to fulfill the full amount of orders that have been placed. Children who ordered  early will still receive their item. However, later orders, unfortunately, can no longer be processed.

All necessary refunds will be made via Parentpay and will be shown as “order not fulfilled”.

We can only apologise for this, we know the children will be disappointed but the circumstances are outwith our control.

Clothing Grants Information

Can all parents/carers applying for East Ayrshire Clothing Grants please ensure that their address is up to date with the school, as their grant will not be processed  if the address on the grant differs from that held at the school.

Dean Park trips

A little reminder of our trips this week…

Monday – Primary 1 & 1/2

Tuesday – Primary 2/3 & 5

Wednesday – Primary 4 & 6

Thursday – Primary 7

If you are providing your child with their packed lunch, please put it in a carrier bag. That way when the children are finished eating, the bags can go in the bin (saves any nice packed lunches being lost or damaged at the park and means the children don’t have to carry it around for the remainder of the day). Also, we kindly ask that no fizzy juice be given to the children for school trips.

Clothing – Please wear school polo shirt and jumper/cardigan on top and comfortable trousers on bottom. Wear sensible shoes and please prepare for the weather (i.e. rain jacket or sun cream)

Thank you!

It looks so much better already. Keep an eye out for our future dates. Your help would be very much appreciated!!

Fun Day!

It’s FUN DAY time here at Mount Carmel Primary School. On Friday 24th June we have lots of amazing activities planned for all the classes. We have bouncy castles, treasure hunts, den building and a visit from the ice cream van planned. We are also asking that children bring in their bikes and scooters as they will be allocated time to play on these with their friends during the day (please ensure that all children have a helmet with them as they will be unable to ride their bikes and scooters without one).  

It is a dress down day – you can wear anything you like (as long as it is not football colours). 

We are kindly asking for a donation of £1 which will go straight towards our school fund. All donations will receive 1 free entry into the class summer raffle prizes and the raffle will be drawn on Monday 27th June. 

Let’s end our school year with a BANG!!
