Eco Character

Introducing CARRIE

Do you like our Eco character designed by Jamie,one of our S4 pupils.

Jamie is one of the Eco committee members and after discussion withthe group  they came up with this idea.

This led to a model of the character being designed and the pupils from Loch Awe worked with Maureen our visual artist to create a wonderful model.

Jamie then volunteered to draw the character incorporating our school logo. He used some of the art tools from smartnotebook, tracing, drawing and colouring the logo. We can now use this logo in all our presentations.

We are all very proud of Jamie and his design.

50 Outdoor Challenges

Classes Tiree and Whalsay have been busy working on their 50 things to do outdoors before you leave Isobel Mair School.

It was such a lovely day on Tuesday 6th May that they decided to put a tent and walk bare foot in the grass.

This was a great learning experience for the pupils as they had to collaborate and problem solve with each other.

Listen as they discuss their day during mAIRwavesFM.

Outdoor Learning

Outdoor Learning at IMS

Classes Cumbrae, Arran, Sanda and Bute took advantage of the sunshine yesterday and moved their classrooms outdoors. 

Some classes were participating in games and others were experiencing the wonder of nature and caring for their environment, looking after the plants in the sensory garden. 

 

I explore and appreciate the wonder of nature within different environments and have played a part in caring for the environment.

I am learning to use my body well, exploring how to manage and control it and find out how to use and share space.
