Thank You NMBC

A big thank you to everyone at Newton Mearns Baptist Church for the generous donation given to the school at our assembly on Friday.

Pastor Brian More and Martin Kelly arrived at the school on Friday afternoon and presented Mrs Wallace with a cheque for £870.

The money was raised by the Mosaic Gospel Glee concert which took place on Easter Sunday at Newton Mearns Baptisit Church.

Thanks from everyone at Isobel Mair School.

Visiting the Scottish Parliament

Class Orkney were quite excited today as they are off to visit the Scottish Parliament as part of their class topic.

They plan to visit  the Debating Chamber, Garden Lobby and one of the Committee Rooms. We look forward to hearing all about the visit later on today.

This is a return visit for Mrs Clark as she was at the Parliament last week with Mrs Wallace presenting at a conference.

IMS NEWS @ 2

The pupils of Class Shetland were excited to showcase their hard work at our school assembly.

They loved working with Phil Goodlad,Sports Reporter from the BBC,learning the skills required for putting together a news report.

Our team of intrepid reporters interviewed Mrs Wallace, Mrs Sim, Kirsteen from the kitchen and a few pupils. They asked some hard hitting questions that Sir Trevor McDonald would have been impressed with!

Their news report included some video footage of pupils saying goodye from the old school and then welcoming our fantsatic new school!

Mrs Wallace presented everyone with achievement certificates at the end for being confident individuals.

Sing and Dance for Sports Relief

Yell have been working hard raising money this week for Sport Relief.  On Monday we visited James Hamilton Loch for a sponsored walk and run.  Some people nearly ran twice round the loch, everyone managed at least one lap.  We had a nice hot chocolate in the cafe afterwards to warm us up again, as it was a little chilly!

 In the afternoon we performed the dances and songs that we are filming for our Sport Relief video.  We’ll show it to classes on Friday at our Sport Relief event and get them to vote for their favourite!  Acts include ‘Connor Buble’, ‘Driver Craig and the Jai Who? Train’, ‘Jamie Andre’, ‘Luke Winhouse’ and ‘Fabio of the Opera’.  Get ready for some fun and laughs, all for a great cause

Class Whalsay Assembly

Class Whalsay organised the secondary assembly today. It was all about people who help us in the local community. The class made up a slideshow of all the people who help us and set up a quiz for the classes to take part in.
Thanks to Monsignor Monaghan for coming to see us and introduce the assembly. He told everyone that he was a friend of Dr Isobel Mair and she would be proud of the new school.
