Ayrshire Schools Burns Competition Success 2026

Leave a comment

We couldn’t be more proud of Team New Cumnock today! ❤️

Each and every one of our pupils who represented the school at the Regional Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition is a superstar. The performances they gave in front of a large audience and the feedback from the judges on their adjudication sheets is testament to that.

We are delighted to be bringing home the following prizes:

1st place P1-3 Singing: Ruby Sh

3rd place P4/5 Singing: Megan M

1st place P4/5 Singing: Lexi B

2nd place P4/5 Verse Speaking: Stewart Y

1st place P4/5  Verse Speaking: Daisy M

3rd place P6/7  Singing: Arabella S

Isla M, Piper M and Chloe M were also in the top finalists of their Verse Speaking categories who had to compete again in a head to head and were awarded a  golden certificate.

Alice M was asked to perform her poem in front of the whole audience during the results segment of the day, as she entered the competition reciting a poem which was written by her Great Papa, who sadly passed away last year.

What a truly wonderful legacy he has left behind in his talented Great Granddaughter.

Our Verse Speaking entries – Isla M, Ruby Sh, Piper M, Alice M, Daisy M, Stewart Y, Chloe M, Olivia M and Kal M

Our Singing entries – Ruby Sh, Lexi B, Megan M, Darcy B and Arabella S

Also a huge well done to our former pupils who are now at Robert Burns Academy and bringing home the following prizes to New Cumnock:

3rd place S1/2 Verse Speaking: Adele M

1st place S3/4 Verse Speaking: Emma Y

2nd place S5/6 Verse Speaking: Emma J

1st place S5/6 Singing: Emma J

Well done everyone, you are all stars! ⭐️

Mrs McNulty would like to extend her thanks to Mrs Wilson for coming in to school to accompany our singers to help them rehearse on the run up to the competition. ❤️

We are delighted that our 1st and 2nd place winners have now been invited to attend the National Burns Competitions in Gourock to represent Ayrshire later this year! 🤩

P6 Bikeability

Leave a comment

Our Primary 6s have undergone their Bikeability Level 1 training.

We are extremely grateful to Courtney and Miss Nicholl for working with our young people to gain this award.

Bikeability Level 1 teaches us to:

  • Maintain our cycle: making sure our ride is in tip-top condition and make simple repairs
  • Glide: smooth, calm and collected
  • Control our bike: including setting off, cruising, slowing down, braking and stopping. (You’ll even learn to pedal one handed!)
  • Pedal: without feeling wobbly or out of control
  • Be aware of our surroundings: looking behind and turning around obstacles

Our very own Stewart Y, and his big sister Emma, who is also a former pupil of ours, performed at the New Cumnock Parish Church Burns Supper tonight.

Stewart gave a recitation of Willie Wastle and was given the important duty of addressing the haggis.

Both superstars wowed the room with their wonderful recitations! Well done Stewart and Emma!
