Sticky Fingers After-School Club

Leave a comment

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

Entertaining the community!

Leave a comment

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!

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.

Blue Peter star performance!

Leave a comment

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.

Our school choir are Blue Peter superstars!!!

We are so excited to share with you that our school choir were approached by the Blue Peter team from the BBC to perform in their Christmas special episode! (Once Mrs McNulty got over the shock of the phone call and the realisation that it was really someone from the BBC and not anyone prank calling her!) we were straight to work learning and rehearsing the song composed for the event. The song is a modern day mash up of traditional Christmas songs, and was very catchy indeed!

As we were unable to meet as a group for some time, we used Microsoft Teams to hear the track so we could sing along at home, learn the words and actions and keep in touch with Mrs McNulty until we were able to meet as a group.

A lot of work and planning from our Senior Leadership Team, East Ayrshire Health and Safety and the BBC production team went into making this opportunity possible, ensuring it was safe for everyone in the current climate and we are extremely grateful for this!

We felt like movie stars on the day and were so glad that the weather was in our favour as we had to sing outside. Our children behaved like total professionals, braving the cold weather for the entirety of our shoot and singing their hearts out at every take!

After our performance, we each received Blue Peter badges and are now the envy of all our friends and family!

Please tune in to watch us this Thursday 17th December at 5.30pm on the CBBC or CBeebies channel.

Here are some photos from the day, a big thank you to Mike, our official East Ayrshire photographer for capturing some super shots for us!
