Dear parent/carer,

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in across the UK. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Friday 7th February 2025 to 19:30 GMT Friday 7th February 2025. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Friday 7th February 2025 to 19:30 GMT Friday 7th February 2025. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.

🤩 #Fitfest Ambassadors 🤩
Calling all NCPS Primary 6s and 7s how would you like the opportunity to become a “Fitfest Ambassador” – well now is your chance.
In partnership with NCPS, NCDT are looking to recruit a group of young people in either P6 or P7 to help with the planning and organisational side of Fitfest! This Includes having your own portion of budget to spend on an activity or event at #FitFest2025 and of course a tshirt and hoodie!
So if you have a passion for all things #fitfest and are keen to be involved in the NC community then we would love to hear from you.
Young people will be asked to complete an application form and also attend a short interview so we can learn and hear lots about them.
Here is some key information for anyone who may be interested in applying:
⭐️ 27/01/25 – Tammy from NCDT & Geraldine 🦒will attend NCPS Get Together to explain #fitfest ambassadors to the whole school.  Application forms will be given to the P6 and P7 teachers to distribute to anyone who wishes to apply.
⭐️ 30/01/25 – Completed applications must be returned to the NCDT Office (21 Castle) no later than 4pm on this day.
⭐️ 03/02/25 – All young people will be notified as to whether they have reached interview stage or not.
⭐️ 04/02/25 – Interviews will take place in NCPS.
Most importantly any young person wishing to be involved must be available to attend Fitfest on 25/05/25 and have permission from a parent/guardian.
We know how much the young people in our community LOVE #fitfest and we cannot wait for them to be involved in making 2025 EVEN better!
Please like, share and tag any young people who you think would be a great addition to our team!

Ayrshire Schools Burns Competition 2025

2 Comments

I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 1st March 2025. 

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 also 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 24th 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
