Eco Character

Introducing CARRIE

Do you like our Eco character designed by Jamie,one of our S4 pupils.

Jamie is one of the Eco committee members and after discussion withthe group  they came up with this idea.

This led to a model of the character being designed and the pupils from Loch Awe worked with Maureen our visual artist to create a wonderful model.

Jamie then volunteered to draw the character incorporating our school logo. He used some of the art tools from smartnotebook, tracing, drawing and colouring the logo. We can now use this logo in all our presentations.

We are all very proud of Jamie and his design.

50 Outdoor Challenges

Classes Tiree and Whalsay have been busy working on their 50 things to do outdoors before you leave Isobel Mair School.

It was such a lovely day on Tuesday 6th May that they decided to put a tent and walk bare foot in the grass.

This was a great learning experience for the pupils as they had to collaborate and problem solve with each other.

Listen as they discuss their day during mAIRwavesFM.

Outdoor Learning

Outdoor Learning at IMS

Classes Cumbrae, Arran, Sanda and Bute took advantage of the sunshine yesterday and moved their classrooms outdoors. 

Some classes were participating in games and others were experiencing the wonder of nature and caring for their environment, looking after the plants in the sensory garden. 

 

I explore and appreciate the wonder of nature within different environments and have played a part in caring for the environment.

StarGaze Drama

FAME JR………………………………

Congratultions to all the pupils who took part in last night’s premier of “Fame JR” at Eastwood Theatre.

I’m sure you will agree that everyone was amazing and all the hard work definetly paid off.

We had young people who were nervous but keen to get on stage, and others who wanted to prove to themselves that they could do it, and they surely did with a standing ovation at the end.

Miss Antelmi (Director) and Mr Hay (Musical Director) would like to thank everyone for all their support during the weekly drama sessions, supporting our young people to become confident individuals and successful learners.

This is a weekly after school club organised and run by volunteers from school staff, however, the principles of the drama group still tie in with a CfE and here are some of the experiences and outcomes that they have been working towards this year:

EXPRESSIVE ARTS EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES

  • I have created and presented scripted or improvised drama, beginning to take account of audience and atmosphere
  • I have experienced the energy and excitement of presenting/performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other people’s presentations.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES

  • I know that friendship, caring, sharing, fairness and equality and love are important in building positive relationships. As I develop and value relationships, I care and show respect for myself and others.
  • I recognise that each individual has a unique blend of abilities and needs. I contribute to making my school community one that values individuals equally and is a welcoming place for all.
  • Through contributing my views, time and talents, I play a part in bringing change in my school and wider community.
