At Friday’s Get Togethers, we were entertained by pupils who competed in the Ayrshire Burns Competition this month, showcasing their talents in singing, poetry and instrumental to their peers.
Everyone was amazed by and in awe of the talent displayed by our young people! Many pupils have since voiced an interest in competing next year after seeing what can be achieved.
Mrs Wilson was presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers to say thank you for all her help in support in accompanying our singers with the piano. We are so grateful for her help!
Well done again to all our talented children, we are so proud of you all!
We couldn’t be more proud of Team New Cumnock this weekend! ❤️
Each and every one of our pupils who represented the school at the Regional Ayrshire Burns 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 P6/7 Instrumental: Ciara B
1st place P6/7 Singing: Alex M
1st place P4/5 Singing: Adele M
2nd place P6/7 Poetry: Emma Y
3rd place P1-3 Poetry: Kal M
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. ❤️
Tomorrow 6 of our pupils will visit Belmont Academy in Ayr where they will perform in either verse speaking, singing or instrumental, representing our school in the Ayrshire Burns Competition 2022.
I’m sure you will all join me in wishing these youngsters all the very best! I know they will do us proud and showcase their wonderful talents!
Mrs McNulty ❤️
I am delighted to share that this year’s Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 11th June 2022.
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
The competition is open for P1-P7 pupils.
Although I have not yet returned from Maternity Leave, 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 attached contact form by no later than the 1st April 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

As you will all know, our Burns Heritage is a huge part of our school life. Unfortunately the Robert Burns World Federation were unable to host their annual Schools Competitions this year.
However, in their absence they have collated performers to showcase a Youth Concert, featuring our very own Lucy W from P7 who will be reciting poetry and representing Ayrshire in doing so!
The concert will feature pupils from across Scotland and we are so proud of Lucy being invited to perform too! The concert will be streamed on Zoom tomorrow evening (Friday 23rd July) at 7.30pm. The meeting link and join code has been sent out to families on the school app. If you are unable to access this and would like to receive the code, please email Mrs McNulty at danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk.
