Class Whalsay were delighted to receive Elf on the Shelf in their class yesterday.
He joined them at Music Therapy and then on their outing to the local pet shop. Alexander loved showing him the fish.
He even delivered some Christmas cards around the school.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Loch Lomond corridor.
Well done to all our star pupils who have been participating in the West of Scotland Cross Country event at Bellahouston park.
Thank you to Mr Holmes and staff for all their help and sports coaching.

At Isobel Mair School we took delivery of our very own elf who will put each class under elf surveillance and report back to Santa.
The elf will take part in class activities with the pupils and promote a little bit of magic into the school day.
So far the elf has joined a PE lesson, been for lunch, joined class Iona at the café and even went for a walk, watch this space for more elf stories and antics..
Each class will have a day with the elf and report back with his antics and we will update every day with photographs.
Have a look at some of the photographs below.
Classes Staffa and Jura invited their parents into class for an open morning.
The families were invited to support pupils with their Christmas enterprise crafts.
Everyone was excited but Katie was super excited that her Dad was in class helping with their Christmas enterprise crafts.
Afterwards everyone enjoyed a get together in Teenscene with coffee and mince pies.
Look out for their crafts at the Christmas Fair on Thursday 1st December.
We were delighted today to have a visit from one of our former pupils Sophie.
Sophie and her family moved to America about 4 years ago and it was lovely to see them come back to IMS to see all her old friends.
Ruby was delighted and shocked when she realised it was Sophie and gave her a tour of the school.
After the tour and meeting some old friends and staff, Sophie joined class Lewis for a snack in Corrie House.
Thank you to everyone for all their kind donations.
We are delighted to let you know that we raised £161.52

Some of the parents then joined class Iona as part of the showcase and took part in their morning group.
Well done everyone for a great day.
This morning classes Yell, Unst and Fetlar visited St Mungo’s Museum to participate in a Holocaust workshop. The content was upsetting and our pupils responded to it in a mature manner – and, as usual, represented IMS responsibly.
Following a last minute request from our pupil council to support Children in Need, tomorrow is a dress as you please day or you can wear jeans and a yellow t shirt and donate £1.
Our primary and secondary pupil council meetings took place this afternoon.

Class Staffa visited Glasgow City Mission this morning to deliver our harvest collection.
Many thanks to Graham Stephen who met and talked with the class, explaining all about how the donations help others less fortunate.

Thank You to Miss Philo and class Islay for organising our “Go Green for Halloween Disco” this afternoon.
We started off with the primary disco and then the senior pupils took to the dance floor, great fun had by everyone.
Prizes were awarded to the best fancy dress and we had some really good ideas this year.
Mr Holmes as usual entertained everyone with his dance moves.
Mrs Clark was even escorted out of the disco for her “bad” dance moves………..
