Open Morning
Class Tiree have invited all their parents into school this morning to help with an enterprise activity.
The class all voted on what they wanted to do for the open morning and this was the favourite.
It was decided to ask the parents to come to school and help with an enterprise activity, making items for the school’s Christmas Fair.
The pupils have been so excited and keen to have the parents onboard helping out with the craft activity.
Parents have just arrived and now the creativity begins……. although they will be rewarded at the end with a coffee and mince pie.
Enjoy everyone.

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.
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.
