Christmas Jumper Day

 Christmas Jumper Day is coming to a school near you………..  Friday 13th December.

                                                                                                    

We are supporting Save the Children’s  Christmas Jumper Day, this is a brilliant opportunity for us to have some end-of-term festive fun while raising money to help children in the poorest parts of the world.

We ask that all children come to school in a festive top and pay £1 which will then be donated to Save the Children.

More details will be sent home via the school diaries.

Community Unity Kilt Walk & Ceilidh

Congratulations to all out tartan clad pupils, who took part in the “Community Unity Kilt Walk” this morning.

The morning started off with IMS welcoming Crookfur Primary pupils and then they were entertained by Reels on Wheels who performed 2 dances for everyone. We then had the official passing of the baton before heading into Teenscene for some shortbread and juice.

Afterwards our enthusiastic and excited pupils walked to Crookfur Primary carrying the Community Unity banner and baton. They were then entertained by the pupils from Crookfur school. The day finished off with a fantastic ceilidh at Eastwood High school. A great event, promoting community unity and working partnerships.

Thank you to everyone involved in this fantastic event and we look forward to what will be our “Annual Kilt Walk”.

Cross Country

Congratulations to some of our senior pupils who took  part in the Cross Country event at Bellahouston today.

We had 17 athletes from classes Whalsay, Orkney, Shetland and Yell taking part.

Most of the students completed the 1km course, it was quite a tricky and slippy course so most returned to school covered in mud! 

Congratulations to Cassie who competed in the 2k race and came in first out of the girls, great running!

Well done to everyone who took part in tricky conditions.
