Burns Candlelight Tea Success!
Last week we hosted our first School Burns Supper with a Candlelight Tea theme! It was a hugely successful and enjoyable evening. We are extremely grateful to the support shown by our families and partner agencies such as the New Cumnock Burns Club and the Ayrshire Burns Association for attending. We were thoroughly entertained by a variety of songs, instruments and verse speaking. What an array of talent we have in New Cumnock! We feel this will be the first of many Burns events hosted in our school! π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ€©

Burns Candlelight Tea 23/2/23
Tickets will be on sale from Thursday from the main office, for our school Burns celebration.
Please come and join us to celebrate our National Bard!
Entertaining the community!
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
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 canβt wait to welcome our supporters and small businesses. Come and visit us to see:

Halloween Costume Recycling
With Halloween just around the corner, and our school Halloween Fun Day on Friday 28th October, youβve probably started to think about what your child will dress up as this year?
Do you have any old dress up costumes at home that no longer fit? Do you need something new for this Halloween? If so, then we want to hear from you!
We will be accepting any donations of unwanted costumes, which we will then make available to our families at our Clothing Recycling Station, located in our Parentβs Room.
Any donations of fancy dress costumes would be greatly appreciated and accepted at the school main office up until Tuesday 25th October.
On Wednesday 26th October, parents/carers will be welcomed into our Parents Room at 3pm where you will be able to see what we have available and can take free of charge. (Please enter via the main entrance)
In a world of fast fashions and rising costs, letβs work together to save money and be kinder to our environment!
