On Saturday, 2 of our pupils were invited to perform at the New Cumnock Parish Church Burns Supper.
Amy addressed the haggis as well as recited ‘To a Mouse’ and Aleesha sang, ‘John Anderson, My Jo’. We are very proud of you girls for taking your talents out into the wider community!
We were delighted to see our former pupil, Emma, on the programme too, who is continuing her love of the Scots language into her Secondary schooling. Keep it up Emma! ⭐
Our leadership group have been recapping the various signs that are useful to learn. We have created a short video to share these with you again and refresh your memory. We hope you can use them and support with communication with others.
On Wednesday 24th January, we held our annual Scots Poetry School Competition. A huge thank you to our 4 judges for coming along and taking the difficult decision off Mrs McNulty’s hands!
We are amazed each year at the talent and confidence displayed by our young people when they perform for us! A huge well done to every one of them!

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!!!
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!
