We couldn’t be more proud of Team New Cumnock today! ❤️

Each and every one of our pupils who represented the school at the Regional Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition is a superstar. The performances they gave in front of a large audience and the feedback from the judges on their adjudication sheets is testament to that.

We are delighted to be bringing home the following prizes:

1st place P1-3 Singing: Ruby Sh

3rd place P4/5 Singing: Megan M

1st place P4/5 Singing: Lexi B

2nd place P4/5 Verse Speaking: Stewart Y

1st place P4/5  Verse Speaking: Daisy M

3rd place P6/7  Singing: Arabella S

Isla M, Piper M and Chloe M were also in the top finalists of their Verse Speaking categories who had to compete again in a head to head and were awarded a  golden certificate.

Alice M was asked to perform her poem in front of the whole audience during the results segment of the day, as she entered the competition reciting a poem which was written by her Great Papa, who sadly passed away last year.

What a truly wonderful legacy he has left behind in his talented Great Granddaughter.

Our Verse Speaking entries – Isla M, Ruby Sh, Piper M, Alice M, Daisy M, Stewart Y, Chloe M, Olivia M and Kal M

Our Singing entries – Ruby Sh, Lexi B, Megan M, Darcy B and Arabella S

Also a huge well done to our former pupils who are now at Robert Burns Academy and bringing home the following prizes to New Cumnock:

3rd place S1/2 Verse Speaking: Adele M

1st place S3/4 Verse Speaking: Emma Y

2nd place S5/6 Verse Speaking: Emma J

1st place S5/6 Singing: Emma J

Well done everyone, you are all stars! ⭐️

Mrs McNulty would like to extend her thanks to Mrs Wilson for coming in to school to accompany our singers to help them rehearse on the run up to the competition. ❤️

We are delighted that our 1st and 2nd place winners have now been invited to attend the National Burns Competitions in Gourock to represent Ayrshire later this year! 🤩
