WEEK 10

What a fantastic start we have had for the last week of term. 
This morning we worked on a team activity called paper holding. We gave it a go but Mrs Ewen is going to give us another try on Wednesday.

 

 



We also learnt about the different persuasive techniques required when writing persuasive pieces of writing such as speeches.

WOW: What an awesome display of high energy on Saturday at the Aurora Centre for the Strictly Jump Jam performances. We are so proud of the students from Ilam who were involved. They worked extremely hard to learn their routine in such a short time. Congratulations to all of you.

Congratulations to Raeann who won the Poster competition. Here is a photo of the winning poster. Well done to Lily who was second. Check out their hair styles:)

Last week our Year 6 students had the wonderful opportunity to go to see what is was like learning at Kirkwood. Check out some of the photos below.

COBHAM: This week while the Year 6 students were visiting Cobham, the Year 5 students from Room 1 joined with the Room 4 students. We had fun doing some Geometry Art and also completing a basketball Tower challenge. Great team work was involved, being able to communicate effectively with each other. 

 ART: During the last two weeks we have been working on Perspective Art: We have started with sketching plans in our books, then we moved onto the real art work. Miss Berkley has been taken us through the process. We are all learning a lot. FInished masterpieces will be on show next week.
