Apologies for the error in the previous post, World Book Day will be celebrated on THURSDAY next week, 7th March.
A wee reminder that chidlren are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or wearing their pyjamas and bringing their favourite bedtime story.
On Monday next week, children will be visiting the Book Fair with their class to make their wish list. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to purchase the books online. (Instructions will be noted on the wish list sent home.)
Next Tuesday, we will be selling Bargain Books from the Book Fair, priced £2 or less. These will be cash only sales as these books cannot be reordered once purchased. Children will be given the chance to purchase from the Bargain Books stall on Tuesday only, so please send them with money on this day, should they wish to look.
We will be holding our Big Book Swap on Thursday. If you have any old books in good condition that your child no longer reads, please send them into school, any day from Monday. Mrs Clarke will issue your child with a ticket which will enable to be first to visit the book swap on Thursday to choose a new book.
In addition to this, running all of next week, we are having a ‘GET CAUGHT READING’ competition, where children are to upload a photograph of themselves reading in a different or unusual place, and add this to their Learning Journals as a Parental Contribution.
Our P7 Reading Schools Champions will then review the uploads and will choose a winner to receive a free book from the Book Fair! These photos must be uploaded by Wednesday and the winner will be shared on World Book Day, on Thursday.

On Wednesday 6th March we will be celebrating World Book Day at school.
Children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book or to come dressed in their pyjamas bringing their favourite bedtime story.
The Book Fair will be arriving at school that week. Children will visit the Book Fair with their class and will create a ‘Wish List’ that they will bring home. Parents/carers, then have the opportunity to make any purchases online, should they wish.
On World Book Day, we will be holding a ‘Big Book Swap’. If your child has any books they no longer read, which are in good condition, they can bring them to school on the Wednesday, to swap for a new book which they can take home.
Members of our parent body have raised concerns about the content of Relationships Sexual Health and Parenting (RSHP) lessons and have already highlighted their intention to extract their children from this area of the curriculum.
As part of our School Improvement Plan, Mrs McNulty is therefore looking to create a Parent Group to develop knowledge and understanding, as well as confidence, within our parents and carers, to ensure effective delivery and outcomes of RSHP here at New Cumnock Primary.
Is this something you feel strongly about or feel you have little knowledge of? Do you have time to join us to share your thoughts or questions?
Please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will contact all parents who have registered, to arrange a meeting in the near future.

A reminder of class PE days can be found in the ‘Important Information’ section above.
PE kit must be brought in to school on these days. (This can be left in school bags or hanging on pegs in a kit bag).
Shorts and suitable indoor shoes are required. No football strips allowed. Older children may find it more comfortable having a change of top to change in to too.
It would be helpful if jewellery was removed and long hair tied back on these days too.
Failure to have the correct kit, will mean your child cannot participate in PE.
If you require support with this, please contact the school.
We are absolutely delighted to inform our families that our Breakfast Club will be starting again from Monday 28th August!
Children are invited along to school to not only receive a nutritious breakfast, but they can socialise with their friends and take part in a range of activities before the start of the school day.
Breakfast Club will start at 8.15am and children are to enter via the door to the back of the gym hall (at the rear of the school car park). At 8.45am, children will be released into the school playground before coming into school with their classmates, all energised for the day ahead!
Places are limited so registration is necessary in order for your child to be added to the register. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You will receive confirmation of your child’s place via phone call, so please ensure you provide us with a contact number. Please complete the contact form below to request a place for your child.
We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful facility to our families free of charge, thanks to a Community Fund Grant awarded to us from the New Cumnock Development Trust. Thank you so much!
