Mair for Us!

In August 2011 Mrs Wallace set IMS classes the £10 challenge, to see who could raise the most money for school funds.  Classes Whalsay, Shetland and Orkney successfully clubbed together to create and raffle a Luxury Christmas Hamper.  Following the success of this they have taken on the challenge of setting up and running a tuck shop for staff in IMS.  After a brain storming session they voted for the name – Mair for Us.  Following extensive market research the produce was bought and priced.  Now opening day has arrived!  The shop opened from 11.30 to 1pm, providing a range of treats to buy, with pupils from these classes working hard to ensure a high quality service.  The pupils have high hopes for a successful, money making tuck shop!

Good Luck everyone.

Swimming Gala

Good luck to pupils from Classes Cumbrae, Arran, Sanda and Mani from Tiree class who are taking part in the West of Scotland SEN Sports Association and Swimming Gala in Blantyre Leisure Pool tomorrow.

This is the first time that these classes have taken part so fingers crossed everything goes swimmingly!

GOOD LUCK

Welcome to the Mair family

Ahoy Pirates!

During the official opeing today, Councillor Green spent some time with the children from the family centre and helped them officially launch the pirate ship.

COMMUNITEA @ IMS

Congratualtions to Whalsay class for a very successful Communitea morning. They are planning to host this once a month so watch out for the next date.

During Enterprise activities the class helped to design posters and invitations for the event and invited lots of people from the local community.

Mrs Haugh-Reid supported the class and helped them to decide what kind of homebaking they wanted to include and bake. Some favourites included  carrot cake, malteser crunch and huge meringues!

It’s been a very busy few weeks for the class but I’m sure you will agree that it was a very successful event.
