Our Oliver! JR rehearsal times will now be from 3-4.30pm every Monday and Friday.
As we are getting closer to our production date it is important that we get all cast members attending every rehearsal. We appreciate this is a big commitment and we expressed this at the start. We have been blown away by our talented youngsters at our rehearsals this far, we know this is a show you will NOT want to miss!
Dear Parent/Carer
New Cumnock Primary School are 
delighted to inform you that we will be running a new after-school club based around Emotional Literacy which will be open to all p2 and p3 children. This will help support our children to understand and express their emotions and feelings in a positive and helpful manner, within a safe, nurturing and fun environment.
Each session will include an after-school healthy snack which children will be able to enjoy during the delivery of a specific emotion based story. This will then be followed with a linked craft.
Sessions will take place every Tuesday from 25th April until 23rd May from 3:00 till 4:15.
If you would like your child to take part, please sign the slip attached to the letter which your child will be given tomorrow and hand back in to school before Friday 21st April. You will be contacted on Monday 24th if your child has been allocated a space.
Kind Regards
Mrs L Ramsay and Mrs T Bradford

Please come and join us to celebrate our National Bard!
This weekend has been fun filled with our pupils entertaining the local community at two Burns events.
Firstly, on Friday evening, Arran, Bruce and Quyn performed poetry recitations for the locals at the Afton Lily Burns Supper. They kick started the evening with super performances which were thoroughly enjoyed by their audience.
Following that, on Saturday afternoon, members of our school choir and 1st place poetry winners from each class were invited to perform at the Town Hall for the New Cumnock Burns Club centenary community concert. The children were very well received by the packed hall and were showered with wonderful compliments on their performances!
It was a wonderful afternoon and not only did the children display wonderful performance skills but their behaviour and enthusiasm made each of them a credit to the school!
Our school choir visited the Afternoon Tea group at the Town Hall yesterday to entertain them with Scots songs to celebrate Burns Day. A huge thank you to Mrs Wilson for her piano accompaniment. Well done everyone! 🌟
Our school choir have been spreading Christmas cheer all over New Cumnock this festive period!
We have enjoyed performing for many local groups this month. Thank you so much to everyone who kindly donated to our choir bucket, we have raised an incredible amount of £119.81!
Not only have our children sang beautifully but they have delighted everyone with their wonderful manners and behaviour. We are so proud of them all!

We are delighted to be able to run our school choir again this session, and we already have several events in our diary to perform at on the run up to Christmas and we cannot wait!
At the start of this month, we were honoured to be asked to perform at the New Cumnock Parish Church Harvest Service.
It was lovely to sing in front of the congregation which included many of our families and friends.
We are very keen to start provision before and after school time, by offering Breakfast Club and After School Clubs again.
Please take a few minutes to complete the form below to let us know your thoughts on this.
Thank you!
Calling all singers! We are making a virtual choir video of two songs for Primary 6 & 7. The songs are “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Eye of the Tiger”. The idea is that you would record your video at home on a phone and send it in. The resulting choir would be posted on East Ayrshire Twitter/Facebook pages.
To participate fill in the form (by clicking the link below). You will be added to a TEAM where you will receive instructions what to do.
We hope you all managed to catch tonight’s episode of Blue Peter to see our wonderful school choir represent Scotland in their Christmas Special.
It was so exciting to hear and see our wonderful singers in action, having the time of their lives! What an amazing opportunity for them to be part of, they really are superstars! We are so incredibly proud of you all!
In case you missed it, here are some snapshots and a recording from the show. You can also watch it again on BBC iPlayer.
