Yesterday we had a summer treat in school to end the school year.
We were lucky to have a performance of Wizard of Oz from M and M productions.
The pupils had a great time and engaged with the story and all the characters, even booing the witch!
Someone even though the scarecrow was crazy!
Pupils, staff and parents have travelled on a very magical journey to Narnia with class Arran.
An amazing sensory experience for all pupils.
Let the photos tell the story…….
Come join us at Eastwood Theatre tonight, 7pm for Stargaze Drama performance of Oliver.
Miss Antelmi and all the pupils are excited to showcase their performance after all their hard work.
Ticketed still available at the door.
Good luck everyone
Friday, 6th June was a very special night for some of our senior pupils.
Our 6th Year Leavers from Yell @Woodfarm High School
thoroughly enjoyed the 6th Years Leavers’ Graduation and Prom.
After the graduation ceremony at Woodfarm High School, our
pupils enjoyed a lovely meal at the Carnbooth House Hotel followed
by lots and lots of dancing.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it a special night.
Stuart is representing Isobel Mair School at the Play
Unified Glasgow Summit today. He will accompany with
3 senior pupils from Woodfarm High School.
Stuart will participate in motivational workshops and team building exercises.
Well done Stuart – a responsible and active pupil.
Class Aran and ISS@IMS group enjoyed the joint trip on the seagull Trust barge at the Falkirk wheel yesterday.
They had a super day for this sensory experience and Aden presented the boat master with a photo of the Kelpies which he will display on his boat.
Classes Lewis, Staffa and Jura have worked with staff including Zoe and Aby from the Lifelong Learning department at the Royal Conservatoire Scotland this week on a Limitless workshop called “Under the Sea”.
Today class Lewis came bouncing into the adventure as they
were so excited to be back working with the students again.
They were so engaged and immersed in the theme of the
project under the sea.
The pupils had the opportunity to experience dance, music
and drama under the umbrella of “Under the Sea”. The repetition
of the songs immediately caught the attention of all the pupils.
Exploring instruments and the sensory props were a
particular favourite but the intensive interaction and
joint communication that was taking place between the pupils
and the students was very emotive.
We had Fay playing along with the guitar, Alexander
singing, Matthew shaking the shakers, Robbi and Zakeeb joining in
with the parachute games and Christopher was our very
own camera man, interested in the filming that was taking place.
Have a look at the photographs of Class Lewis’s session.
Congratulations to Zach who won a show jumping rosette with his horse Skye at the weekend.
Well done, we are all so proud of you.
Good luck to our 6th year Leavers who are attending the Woodfarm High School prom tonight.
Have a great time everyone.
Photos to follow.
Thank to all the families that came to our Healthy Lives at IMS last night.
I’m sure you will agree it was most enjoyable and lots of fun ideas to share.
The pizzas looked amazing and so healthy.
Thankfully the sun was shining and we were able to use the grounds for some parachute games.
Some of our senior pupils headed out yesterday on a trial run of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award challenge.
The real event takes place on Friday 17th June at Lochgoilhead.
They made their way to Eglington park in Ayrshire and set up camp.
Late afternoon they set off on an adventure, learning how to use maps to navigate their way to a central point.
All of these opportunities gives our young people an opportunity to be independent, self-sufficient and to be challenged as an individual.
Dinner was the highlight of the evening’s activities and pasta was the order of the day!
However we made the most amazing s’mores……….. and we had a great night telling stories and gazing up at the stars.
This afternoon we were joined by pupils from St Cadoc’s for the Community Unity Peace March as part of our Rights Respecting Schools.
Both groups sang songs representing the rights of the child before they joined the rest of the school on the peace march.
Tomorrow is Wig Wednesday, 25th May, we are supporting “Get WIGGY with it”.

Our primary and senior pupils were all set for the
football tournament against Kersland School as part of the Learning Disability Week and ERDA East Renfrewshire Disability
Action group. Vivien from ERDA joined us and reported on the game.
The primary pupils kicked off the game with senior pupils cheering them on in the background. Lots of team work taking place between both teams.
The final score was 6-4 to Isobel Mair.
Well done everyone.
After cheering on the primary pupils, the senior team were raring to go…….
Alex Oliphant scored with his first kick of the ball, 1 -0 IMS.
The friendly tournament continued and it was touch and go if Alex was going to let anyone else score, he was on fire……. However Joshua A added a few more goals to the tally.
Alex O’Donnell saved a few good goals from Kersland and the
final score was 10-2 Isobel Mair.
Congratulations to everyone who took part on the field
and supporting from the side-lines.

Gemma, one of our s3 pupils made her class an amazing cake today to celebrate the Cash for kids superhero day.
It was a lovely sunny day yesterday and Class Tiree and Whalsay decided to go on an adventure, looking for minibeasts in the school grounds.
They found a ladybird, some worms, spiders, bees, beetles, centipede and slugs and snails, all very exciting!
They then looked at their minibeasts through magnifying glasses and recorded our Mairwaves blog.
