They are visiting different areas of the school and coping well with transitions.
This morning they all worked well at snack time and received lots of praise from class staff.
We are delighted to have along members of our local community to talk to our students about jobs and careers in different companies and services.
The students were very excited to be able to ask our visitors all sorts of questions about career choices that are available. They spoke to staff from Waitrose, Vets at Home, Morgan Sindall,
Enable Scotland, Action on Hearing Loss and many others.
Miss Philo who organised the Careers Fair, would like to thank the careers advisors and the representatives from all of the companies who came today for donating their time for our secondary school children. We could not have done it without you!

Class Whalsay have decided to make an “IMS Family Recipe book” as their enterprise project this year!
We would like to encourage all pupils and staff to bring in a recipe for the book. The pupils in class Whalsay will organise the recipes into categories: Starters , Main Courses, Healthier options and Desserts.
We are hoping to get some local sponsorship to enable us to get nice printed copies of the recipe books and will be looking to be selling copies sometime between Easter and the Summer holidays.
If you have a recipe that you would like to be added to our recipe book, please send a copy via email or school diaries before Friday 12th March.
Thanks You
Class Whalsay

Last day of the World Book Day celebrations.
We have had lots going on this week to celebrate World Book Day.
Invited storytellers came into school and we also had a story from the child smile team.
Our senior management team led stories on Thursday and Friday and we finished off the week with a whole school assembly.
Classes have been engaging in lots of imaginative activities to
foster an enjoyment of reading.
We’ve had the Hungry caterpillar, Flat Stanley, the Gingerbread Man, the Smartest Giant in Town, the Borrowers and the seniors have been attending the library at Woodfarm High School to read some books. Flat Stanley treasure hunts took place around the school and the ISS@Ims group performed an interactive
“The Smartest Giant in Town” for the Family Centre pupils.
At this afternoons assembly, certificates were awarded to the
best dressed, and classes all presented about the activities
they undertook for the week.
The young people were so proud of their achievements and
took great delight explaining all about their book topics.
Thank you to Miss Dewhurst and Mrs Barron for organising World Book Day 2016
Students from our ISS@IMS group invited pupils from the Family Centre and class Arran to join them for a special tea party
to celebrate World Book Day.
Well done to all the pupils who received certificates at our primary assembly today.
Well done to all the pupils from classes Bute and Staffa for
an excellent assembly.
The classes told the story of “The Fairy Flag of the Macleods”.
Both classes worked together on the story and then came together to perform their interactive story at the primary assembly.

Good luck to some of our senior pupils taking part in the West of Scotland SEN Cross Country event at Bellahouston Park this morning.

Listen as classes Whalsay and Tiree discuss Scottish Inventors.
As part of the lesson plan, pupils had to create their own invention, have a look at Toby’s inventions.
He wrote about his invention and then drew a plan. I’m sure a few of our pupils would like this idea to be patented.
