Well done to Regan from Primary 6 who has designed the new logo for our Parent Council!
We are delighted to announce that we are having a special Health Week. This has been organised by Primary 5 and Mrs McGowan. The pupils will be taking part in a range of healthy activities throughout the week. Some of the activities will be completed by their class teacher and others will be completed by coaches.
The activities are:
Football
Tennis
Safety with PC Dempster
Rugby
Basketball
Running (P5-P7)
Tae Kwon Do
Outdoor/Scouts
Boxing (P4-P7)
Children should wear suitable outdoor clothing throughout this week (no football colours).
Pupils should make a special effort to have a healthy snack everyday this week, and bring water to school.
Thank you you to all the groups who have offered to help for this week.
Primary 4 have had a great first week back. The children have started a new topic all about magnets and have enjoyed some of the experiments we have carried out so far.
I have made a change to PE days. These will be on a Monday and Thursday so children should come dressed for PE on these days.
Homework is now being attached to our TEAMS page so be sure to check for updated homework tasks/activities for the week on a Monday. Reading books will be attached on Bug Club. There will be no hard copy of the text being sent home.
Have a great weekend!

Tomorrow, P6/7 will watch Descendants as part of the pyjama and movie day. As it is rated a PG , should you NOT wish your child to watch this film, please contact the school tomorrow morning.
Thank you and enjoy your Easter break.

Primary 4 had a lovely morning visiting Dean Park today! The weather was good, so we managed to have a lovely walk around the park, meet some animals, play at the swing park and even had time for a few games. The children enjoyed some ball games and a blind folded animal game, which they really enjoyed!
Primary 3 had fantastic fun at the Dean Park today. They spotted some frog spawn, went on a fairy trail, found signs of spring and had lots of fun playing with their friends in the play park!
The primary 4 children had a vote in class today, for the movie they would like to watch tomorrow during our movie/PJ day and have chosen the live action version of Aladdin! This is a PG, so if any parent would not like their child to watch the above movie, contact the school and we can make other arrangements for your child during our movie time.
Check back later for some photos from Dean Park today
Please follow this link to view a beautiful piece of work by Ms Donnelly and some of the pupils from Mount Carmel. Ms Donnelly has continued to run the school music service virtually for our pupils and they have enjoyed taking part in this.
Tomorrow (Thursday 1st April) Primary 6 have chosen to watch ‘A Night at the Museum’. This is a PG movie.
If you DO NOT wish your child to watch this movie please notify the school tomorrow morning.
Thank you,
Miss Mudge

Thank you for you co-operation.
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.
Kindest regards
