Christmas Card Orders
All children across our four playrooms have drawn a picture for their own individualised Christmas card. The sample arrived yesterday and staff have been catching parents to ensure these go home quickly so that orders are placed timeously.
Please return the template to us as quickly as you can as we are hoping to have a quick turn around to make sure we have the cards in plenty of time for posting!
LAST ORDER DATE STRICTLY Thursday 27th November.
Miss Dewhurst will be taking children to the Post Office to post the cards to the printer – so make sure your order is in on time!
The children’s artwork can be viewed by clicking the following link:

Ladies Night Success!
As you know, last Friday night the staff at IMFC hosted a Ladies Night event as a fundraiser for the Family Centre.
The evening was a ROARING success with everyone enjoying the stalls, dancing along to top DJ Tony’s tunes and playing an assortment of games.
Photo’s are displayed in our foyer and all raffle prizes have now gone to their rightful owner!
Feedback from the parent’s who attended has been very positive with many parents asking how soon we will be hosting another event!
The staff would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all who attended on the night, bought raffle tickets, handed in prizes and wished us well for the night.
The money is still rolling in the door as people who were unable to attend wish to make their own monetary contribution, however I am delighted to let you know that at last count the total was sitting close to a FANTASTIC
£850.00
Well done to Siobhan Barron and Zoe McNeill who planned and organised the event and thanks to all other staff for their support.

World Book Day
Thank you to all children and parents who participated in our World Book Day events this week as part of Literacy Week. Thank you for your kind contributions for the World Book Aid charity, much appreciated.
On Thursday, some of our morning session children went to Waitrose with Mrs. McConnell to purchase items discussed in our themed story – ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ Although some children were just a little disappointed we were not having the Caterpillar’s Saturday feast of chocolate cake and lollipops (!) everyone was delighted with the strawberry’s, Swiss cheese, green leafs and gherkins!
On Friday, all of our afternoon children went to ‘World book Day’ assembly for a special Alice In Wonderland dramatisation put on by senior IMS pupils. Children had a wonderful time at assembly and looked fantastic with all their favourite book character costumes on!
Photo’s to follow on Mrs. Quaile’s return!
