There is not cost for this. We are asking children to come to school dressed as either their favourite character from a book, or dressed in their pyjamas and to bring along their favourite bedtime story.

Please note, we do not want this to be an added expense to our families, in what is already a difficult financial climate, we simply want to celebrate our love of books and have a fun day doing so! Please see below some inexpensive costume  ideas and how we can support you…

To support out families, we are asking if you have any donations of clothing which would be suitable for dressing up as a book character or pyjamas, we would welcome these to be added to our clothing bank located within the school, which will then be made available to our families.

If you can help us, please send you donations into school and these will be made available to our families from the reception area next Tuesday and Wednesday whilst the children are off school due to Industrial Action. Simply come along to the main entrance, and a member of staff present will help you.

Entertaining the community!

This weekend has been fun filled with our pupils entertaining the local community at two Burns events.

Firstly, on Friday evening, Arran, Bruce and Quyn performed poetry recitations for the locals at the Afton Lily Burns Supper. They kick started the evening with super performances which were thoroughly enjoyed by their audience.

Following that, on Saturday afternoon, members of our school choir and 1st place poetry winners from each class were invited to perform at the Town Hall for the New Cumnock Burns Club centenary community concert. The children were very well received by the packed hall and were showered with wonderful compliments on their performances!
It was a wonderful afternoon and not only did the children display wonderful performance skills but their behaviour and enthusiasm made each of them a credit to the school!

Community HWB Group 💚

Mrs Clapperton took our community group to Afton Court on Monday 6th February. They were given the very important job of painting fairy doors for Kilmarnock Fire Station Fairy Garden. They did a great job along with the residents of Afton Court and can’t wait to visit the garden once it a complete. We’re hoping to plan a games afternoon with Afton Court very soon!
