Thank you to everyone who came to our Easter service this morning.
The singing was wonderful and we all loved the Easter song from the Family Centre children.
After the Easter story, all the children were invited by Rev Roddick to place a flower on the Easter cross.
Class Staffa looked splendid in their Easter bonnets which they decorated in class.
A huge thank you to Olivia and Amy who performed the welcome and school song using makaton.
We recently had a visit from SQA as part of the External Verification for National Qualifications that take place within the school.
We are delighted to share with you part of the excellent report.
Part 7
Good Practice
Please provide examples of good practice witnessed during the Verification activity.
The centres’ presentation of materials was excellent. Staff had developed teaching materials of a very high standard to meet candidates’ needs. All activities recorded were exciting and motivating for candidates.
In many cases the candidate was able to achieve more than was being asked in certain units – the centre will review this next session.
The Practical Craft Skills unit was also delivered in a very innovative and holistic way which encompassed most of the school!
Today we are joined by Joanne from the Open Air Laboratories who has come into school to run sessions with our pupils, about insects within our vast school grounds.
Primary classes will be putting on their raincoats and welly boots to explore the grounds to see what bugs they can find and then hopefully match the bugs to charts.
The senior classes will be learning about worms and their habitats.
Our Easter Service takes place Tuesday 31st March, 10:30am at Newton Mearns Baptist Church.

Isobel Mair Science Team 2015 would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all of the pupils, teaching staff and parents who took part in science week. Our fair was amazing- and involved every class in school.
We would also like to thank the staff from Glasgow University, Strathclyde University and Eastwood High School for hosting workshops all week for the children. We’ve had a mobile planetarium, light diffraction glasses and we’ve even made poo in a bucket!
Have a look at some of our photos from an amazing week……
This morning some of the classes watched the solar eclipse live on the BBC and some of our senior pupils watched it live from the staffroom – what a perfect end to our incredible science week.
Rehearsals for tonight’s performance of a “Sensational Childhood” went well.
The young people from Isobel Mair, Crookfur and St Cadoc’s primary schools all worked really well and the final rehearsal this afternoon was amazing.
Still a few tickets left at the door but almost a full house to see our young people in action.
