Elf on the Shelf at IMS

Leave a comment

At Isobel Mair School we took delivery of  our very own elf who will put each class under elf surveillance and report back to Santa.

The elf will take part in class activities with the pupils and promote a little bit of magic into the school day.

So far the elf has joined a PE lesson, been for lunch, joined class Iona at the café and even went for a walk, watch this space for more elf stories and antics..

Each class will have a day with the elf and report back with his antics and we will update every day with photographs.

Have a look at some of the photographs below.

Sophie visits IMS

We were delighted today to have a visit from one of our former pupils Sophie.

Sophie and her family moved to America about 4 years ago and it was lovely to see them come back to IMS to see all her old friends.

Ruby was delighted and shocked when she realised it was Sophie and gave her a tour of the school.

After the tour and meeting some old friends and staff, Sophie joined class Lewis for a snack in Corrie House.

mobilooPAMIS’ Mobiloo

PAMIS is launching its fundraising campaign for a Scottish Mobiloo on World Toilet Day, Sat 19 Nov 2016.

Mobiloo, which is based near Oxford, are bringing up their Mobiloo to support PAMIS in their launch, and to help promote the fundraising campaign.

Check out the flyer for details of the promotional tour at Glasgow Science Centre and the Kelpies.

A PAMIS Mobiloo will give people with PMLD and complex needs the opportunities that, at the moment, are sometimes unavailable due to the lack of fully accessible toilets.
