Outdoor Learning
Class Tiree spent some time learning outdoors this morning working with some of the parents from our Ground Force team as they were working in the sensory garden.
Before the holidays they had planted some seeds and now it was time to harvest them.
Everyone had a taste of the peas and now they are going to research some pea recipes for next week.
Outdoor Learning
Many thanks to our ground force team who were back in action this morning after the summer break to make our sensory garden a wonderful learning environment for our young people.
Have a look at some of the photographs taken in our sensory garden.

Welcome back everyone
We hope you all had a fabulous and peaceful Summer Holiday. Our new term has now started and we welcomed lots of new staff and pupils to school this morning.

Prom 2016
Thank you to everyone who supported our prom last night to say farewell to our leavers.
It was a great night and everyone enjoyed the music from DJ Sean ( Jonathan’s dad).
Thank you to our buddies who came to support our prom and help make it a success for the young people.
It was great to see so many of our formers pupils and they loved dancing the night away or in Michael’s case – singing the night away.
He typed out his song request on his iPod touch and showed it to the DJ…… the power of communication!
Good luck to all our leavers and our doors will always be open for our legendary discos.
ISS@IMS visit to RCS
Mrs Laurie’s ISS@IMS pupils had an amazing time, when they participated in Drama workshops at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
They had great fun working with their tutors Thom and Robbie. It was all about finding their voice and increasing confidence, all of which was achieved.
We would like to thank Mona Keeling for organising the fantastic workshops for us, and pupils hope to continue to work with the Conservatoire in the future.

Sports Cup
Thank you to Alex O’Donnell and his family for the donation and sponsorship of the Sports Cup.
As this was his last year at Isobel Mair , Alex and his family wanted to do something for the school and came up with the idea of awarding the sports cup to the person with the most outstanding achievement each year.
This is a lovely idea and will certainly be an incentive for the pupils to win the cup for all their achievements.

This is the opportunity for the pupils to have fun and generalise the skills they have been learning throughout the year.
Bronze Award
Congratulations to Sara, Alex, Sophie, Amy and Stuart who all received their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award at the weekend.
This was the 2nd overnight camping stay that they took part in and also managed to 2 field walks. They had to cook their meals al fresco and coped remarkably well with the millions of midges…….. some more attracted than others!
Many thanks to our buddies and the DofE staff, Amy and Jim who supported our young people with the many challenges over the weekend.
Well done to our LochG Explorers we are all so proud of you.
