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!

School Poetry Afternoon

This afternoon we hosted our school poetry competition. We were delighted to welcome all our classes and families and friends of our finalists in to watch.

Every one of our finalists showed such bravery, courage and wonderful performance skills, and the cheers from our audience were testament to how proud our school community are of you all.

A huge well done to you all!

A big thank you goes out to Mr and Mrs Skilling from the Ayrshire Burns Association for coming along to show their support and to our 3 judges, Iain Burgoyne (better known as Budgie), Reverend Ken Yorke and Billy Hastie for coming along to help us with the difficult job of judging the wonderful talent on display.

Christmas Fair 26/11/22

Leave a comment

We are so excited that there is only 1 more sleep until our much-loved Christmas Fair is BACK!!!

Come and join us tomorrow Saturday 26th November from 10am until 12pm at New Cumnock Primary School and enjoy our stalls with a hot snack and entertainment.

A few things to note this year:

  • The entrance to our Fair this year will be at the back of the main car park, through the main gates into the playground. Our Elves will be there to greet you!

  • In the playground, you will be able to visit Dr Bike who will be there carrying out bike safety checks and have bike models there for you to try before you buy. We are sure this is a popular item on many Christmas lists this year!
  • Our School Choir will also be singing to welcome you all into the Fair. Any donations to their fundraising bucket would be greatly appreciated.
  • Please ensure you bring money to the fair as all stalls will be operating with cash. Card payments will not be possible.
  • There will be teas, coffees, hot rolls and shortbread available to buy too.
  • You may find it useful to bring a ‘bag for life’ or regular carrier bag with you, as we are confident our guests will find many products they will want to buy!

As you can see from the photos above, this year is set to be our biggest and best Fair yet! We can’t wait to welcome our supporters and small businesses. Come and visit us to see:

Our School Choir are BACK!

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.
