Red Nose Day 17/3/23

18 March – Comic Relief Day – Two Waters Primary School

Primary 3 are organising Red Nose Day this Friday 17th March.

They are asking everyone to come to school dressed in brightly coloured clothing to spread the cheer. We would kindly ask you to donate £1 through ParentPay to raise money for Comic Relief.

There will be a Talent Show held that afternoon for the pupils. No donation is required for pupils to attend this, this is just for fun and raise awareness. ❤️

Communication Friendly Schools – Sign of the Fortnight

So far, we have shared the following signs with you – see previous posts:

  • thank you
  • sorry
  • well done
  • help you
  • help me
  • numbers 0-10
  • 5 vowels

The new signs for this week are the alphabet finger spelling signs – this is a fundamental sign in BSL and if you know the finger spelling then you can communicate at a simple level with a deaf person through spelling out the words.

Burns Candlelight Tea Success!

Last week we hosted our first School Burns Supper with a Candlelight Tea theme! It was a hugely successful and enjoyable evening. We are extremely grateful to the support shown by our families and partner agencies such as the New Cumnock Burns Club and the Ayrshire Burns Association for attending. We were thoroughly entertained by a variety of songs, instruments and verse speaking. What an array of talent we have in New Cumnock! We feel this will be the first of many Burns events hosted in our school! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤩

A huge thank you to Emma J for capturing these images for us on the night!
