Some of our primary pupils were filmed for a new CBeebies series called “Feeling Better”
The programme all about feelings started todaty at 3:20pm. You can also catch it on iPlayer. Look out for some of the IMS pupils in the next 6 episodes.
Who can you spot today in the preview episode and episode 1?
The Food for Thought Education Fund from Education Scotland gives financial support to develop Food and Health as a context for learning. The fund aims to improve practitioner confidence in providing progressive, high quality learning experiences which help to embed food education into the ethos of the establishment. It also provides an opportunity to plan and implement learning experiences which build sustainability and capacity for future development.
Mrs Goodlad worked painstakingly to put together our successful application to gain the funding required for Isobel Mair to build its’ own Mini Allotment within the school grounds.
Mr Coubrough has been working with class’ Harris and Skye to develop an area of the school grounds specifically for food production. The project will be up and running for growing season towards the end of March where there will be 4 raised beds with wheelchair access to enable all pupils to participate in horticulture and produce fruit and vegetables for use in Home Economics lessons. We envisage this project will be a sustainable on-going benefit to the school.
The project could not have been completed without the help of companies from our local community- MensShed Barrhead for building our planters and also Waitrose for providing seed boxes and the vital know how for tending to our crops.

For Sport Relief this year we are going to be embracing the message of “moving a mile” and will take place over the week Monday 19th March- Friday 23rd March.
Pupils and staff will walk our daily mile route and everyone will have the opportunity to count their laps and we will display the total at the end of the week.
This year we are going digital and instead of sponsor forms going home, we have set up a Just giving webpage through Sport Relief so that parents and friends can donate directly to Sports Relief.
An order form will also be sent home for Sport Relief bands if any of the pupils wish to take part in this. All details for these will be on a letter being sent home.
You can donate here on the Just Giving page.
