CYCLE SAFETY

 Year 6 students participate in cycle safety in Term 4 at Ilam School. 

SOPHIA VISIT

 Sophia from the University of Canterbury came to visit us last Friday to teach us about the Kaktovik number system. Room 4 worked on a new system, some found it a bit difficult to comprehend at first as it was totally new to all of us... We were able to work out some simple addition and subtraction problems. 

From the internet: 

The Kaktovik numerals or Kaktovik Iñupiaq numerals are a base-20 system of numerical digits created by Alaskan Iñupiat. They are visually iconic, with shapes that indicate the number being represented.
