P7 BBC Burns TV Stars

Back in December, we reported to our families, sharing the wonderful work Primary 7 did with BBC Scotland on a Burns Project for the BBC L.A.B website where they recited, directed, filmed and created animation for the Burns poem, ‘To a Mouse’.

We are delighted to report that not only do we go ‘Live’ on the BBC LAB website (www.bbc.co.uk/labscotland) this Thursday 25th January in honour of our National Bard’s birthday, but our film will also be included in the TV programme, ‘Burns Night’ which will be broadcast on BBC Scotland Channel at 8pm on Thursday evening too!

Be sure to set your reminders, this is not to be missed!!!

School Choir perform in Glasgow

Leave a comment

On Saturday 20th January, our school choir were invited to attend and perform at the Glasgow and District Wreath Laying Ceremony in George Square, Glasgow. Mrs McNulty with P6 and P7 choir members performed Burns and Scots pieces at Glasgow City Chambers, at the wreath laying ceremony at the Burns monument in George Square and then again at The Merchants House in George Square. In the absence of a piper, the children were even asked to sing as the procession walked through George Square which the children were delighted to do!
It was a wonderful day, and we were all delighted and honoured to have been invited to be part of it! A huge thank you to Mrs Johnstone and Mr Burns for their help and support on the day!

Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition 2024

Leave a comment

I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 2nd March 2024. 

The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:

  • Verse Speaking
  • Singing
  • Instrumental
  • Bagpiping
  • Chanter

The same pupil may be entered for one, two or more disciplines,
e.g. Singing and Instrumental.

The verse speaking category is open to P1-7 pupils, the other 4 remain available for P4-7 pupils.

As always, I will be volunteering my time to work with pupils who are keen to enter. This time however, will be limited, therefore pupils will be required to spend time practising at home.

I have very much appreciated the efforts of pupils who have entered these competitions in previous years. We have experienced lots of success in these competitions due to the high standard of talent in our New Cumnock Primary pupils!

If your child wishes to enter the competition, please complete the form below by no later than this Friday 26th January to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.

I look forward to working with our talented pupils once again!

Mrs McNulty
