On Saturday 7th March, Mrs McNulty, parents/carers and 33 of our pupils attended Irvine Royal Academy to participate in the Ayrshire Schools Burns Competition.
We had pupils entered in Verse Speaking, Singing and Instrumental sections.
For the first time ever there was a P1-3 Verse Speaking section and we were not restricted to how many entries we could submit so Mrs McNulty thought, the more the merrier!
A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to get our children ready for this competition, a huge well done to our pupils and parents/carers for the work you have put into being prepared.
A great day was had by all. The standard of talent was exceptionally high and not only did our pupils shine with their singing, speaking and musical talents, but also with their positive attitudes and excellent behaviour! We couldn’t be prouder of you all! A huge well done to all our participants.
Under normal circumstances, our 1st and 2nd place prize winners Alex M and Lucy W would represent Ayrshire at the National Competition in Carluke, however, due to COVID-19, unfortunately there will not be a Nationals Competition this year.
Team New Cumnock!

We were delighted to enter 2 former pupils, who are now at Cumnock Academy. Casey K was entered in S1/2 singing and Adana W was entered in S1/2 Verse Speaking
Emma Y made it to the final 6 in P4/5 Verse Speaking and got to perform again in front of a big audience
Lucy W made it to the final 6 in P6/7 Verse Speaking and got to perform again in front of a big audience 
As we weren’t able to track down everyone for photos at the event, it was a great excuse for Mrs McNulty to have another photo shoot with us all back at school!
