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!

NCPS Tartan Trek 25/1/24

Next Thursday 25th January, on Robert Burns’ birthday, the whole school will be taking part in a ‘Tartan Trek’.

The walk will start at the school and go around the Knockshinnoch lagoons before returning back to school before the end of the school day.

We will be leaving school at 1.30pm, so please look out for us and give us a toot or a wave at your windows as we pass by!

We are encouraging everyone to wear tartan on this day in honour of Robert Burns’ birthday, but please also be mindful of the outdoor weather and ensure your child is dressed appropriately for being outside too.

This will be a sponsored event. Sponsor forms will be coming home today and we are encouraging children to ask friends and family if they would like to sponsor them for participating in this walk. Money should be brought to school next Thursday morning where it will be collected in by your child’s class teacher.

All money raised by the walk will go towards our school funds.

Upon our return to school, children will be treated to a drink and a snack which is very kindly being gifted to us from the New Cumnock Development Trust – thank you in advance for this!

We are looking for parent helpers to accompany us on our walk, so if you are free next Thursday afternoon and would like to help, please ring the school and we will pop your name down to come along.

Thank you in advance for your support with this whole school fundraising event!
