World Book Day 2021

On Thursday 4th March, the whole school enjoyed celebrating World Book Day. Our P1-3 children came into school dressed as their favourite book characters and enjoyed taking part in activities in class such as designing book covers and decorating bookmarks.

Despite our P4-7s being at home Remote Learning, they weren’t going to miss out on the World Book Day fun! They too enjoyed dressing up as their favourite book characters and taking part in activities such as ‘The Masked Reader’ and guessing the book titles from Emojis.

Dog Fouling Campaign

We are working closely with the New Cumnock Development Trust to tackle the ongoing issue of dog fouling in our community.

We were delighted to see so many of you create campaign posters!

We would love to have these on display around our village, so can you please bring them with you to school or hand them in at the school main office and we will get them to Tammy at the NCDT.

Thank you!

SURF Awards 2021

To round off our short week at school we wanted to share with you the wonderful work we have received from members of our Pupil Council.

New Cumnock were shortlisted to the final 3 in the SURF Awards for ‘Most Improved Place in Scotland’. Mrs McMurdo and Mrs McNulty attended the live virtual ceremony last night. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but Team New Cumnock will always be our winner!

In preparation for the event we asked our Pupil Council representatives to send us videos or words about why they think living in New Cumnock is so great?  Their responses were so wonderful we had to share them with you all!
