P4 have started their Heritage Heroes project. For this project we need to learn about the history of New Cumnock and share what we have learned. We have chosen to learn about the history of the swimming pool. We are learning about the old and new pool as both of the pools have history we would like to learn about. If you don’t mind could you share your experiences by answering the questions below. Thank you from P4.
We would also be grateful if you could e-mail any photos you have of the pool or the way New Cumnock used to look when there was a library, tennis courts, games hall and community centre. Please e-mail any photos to – karen.petrie@eastayrshire.org.uk
We respectfully request that children do not bring Pokemon Cards into school.
Regretfully, we have been dealing with increased incidents of disruption and upset amongst pupils across all stages regarding Pokemon Cards.
Please could all parents ensure Pokemon Cards are left at home for the foreseeable future. Children who do bring Pokemon Cards to school will be asked to put them away in school bags, and are left in school bags at their own risk.
Thank you for your continued support in this matter.
Families Connect is an evidence based programme developed by Save the Children UK that supports parents/carers to engage in their children’s learning.
New Cumnock Primary School has been chosen to take part in the Scottish Government’s Pilot Study and will be delivering this weekly for 6 weeks with the first session taking place on Thursday 12th May.
Families will receive excellent resources which they will be able to keep in order to connect and communicate with their child at home.
The commitment is only 1.4 hours online once a week for 6 weeks. This would be such a valuable opportunity for every family!
For further information or to request a place on the programme please contact:

Are your children growing out of their uniform? Don’t want to waste money buying new uniform so late in the school year? Why not visit the UNIFORM BANK this Friday (29th April) outside the MAIN OFFICE from 2.30pm onwards!
The Clean Green Schools Award team have been thinking of ways to recycle, reduce and reuse throughout the school. One of the ways they have decided to do this is through the development of a school uniform bank.
There will be sweatshirts and jackets available in a variety of sizes. Come along and pick up any items FOR FREE!
The uniform bank will be available on the last Friday of each month from now until the Summer break!
