Tartan Trek Success!
A huge thank you to everyone who made our Tartan Trek last week such a success! To everyone who sponsored our children, to the New Cumnock Development Trust for the yummy snacks and drinks provided to us on our return, to our Parent Helpers and Staff for accompanying our children on our walk and to our wonderful children for being such good sports and coming along and singing all the way round the Lagoons and back to school, despite the poor weather that day. A personal favourite was the rendition of ‘Happy Birthday Dear Rabbie!!!’ from Primary 1 as we walked past the Robert Burns Statue.
We are delighted to announce that our Sponsored Walk raised a staggering total of £3871.30!!!
WELL DONE EVERYONE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Dinnae Forget Your Caddy!
Parents/carers,
Yesterday each family received a letter invite them to name and register their food caddy as part of East Ayrshire’s ‘Dinnae Forget Your Caddy’ competition.
Children are reminded to return the tear off slip at the bottom by tomorrow to be entered in the prize draw, to have their name given to our school caddy. There is £20 East Ayrshire voucher up for grabs!
Each week, children will be working hard to share the message of the importance of recycling our food waste at home and each time they let us know that they have put their kerbside caddy out for collection at home, they will receive a token which will be added to a prize draw which will take place each month to won a £10 East Ayrshire voucher!
Let’s work together to increase our Community Caddy Count!

Tartan Trek 25/1/24
A wee reminder that we will be going out on our sponsored Tartan Trek tomorrow (Thursday).
All sponsor money will be collected in the morning by class teachers, alternatively, if you would prefer, you can hand in your child’s sponsor money at the main office, if you would rather drop it off yourself, but this must be done in the morning to allow us to get it counted and banked.
Don’t forget to wear your tartan tomorrow but to also dress appropriately for the outdoors as we intend to head out, even if it is raining. (That way we will have really earned our sponsor money!)
When we arrive back at school, each child will be given a drink and a snack which has been kindly donated from the New Cumnock Development Trust. Thank you again to Tammy and the team for this kind gesture!
We will be heading out at 1.30pm so if you are out in your car or we walk past your window, give us a wave or a toot!

Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition 2024
I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 2nd March 2024.
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
- Verse Speaking
- Singing
- Instrumental
- Bagpiping
- Chanter
The same pupil may be entered for one, two or more disciplines,
e.g. Singing and Instrumental.
The verse speaking category is open to P1-7 pupils, the other 4 remain available for P4-7 pupils.
As always, I will be volunteering my time to work with pupils who are keen to enter. This time however, will be limited, therefore pupils will be required to spend time practising at home.
I have very much appreciated the efforts of pupils who have entered these competitions in previous years. We have experienced lots of success in these competitions due to the high standard of talent in our New Cumnock Primary pupils!
If your child wishes to enter the competition, please complete the form below by no later than this Friday 26th January to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.
I look forward to working with our talented pupils once again!
Mrs McNulty
