Week 4-5

 Wow, almost 3 weeks have flown by. We have been busy with a lot of learning. 

It has been great to have Ella Walsh-Oakes from NZ graduate school join us. She has just over two weeks left until she completes her time with us. 

SWIMMING: What an awesome morning we had at Jellie Park with the swimmers who participated in our Ilam School Swimming Sports. Congratulations to the students from Room 4 who displayed their Ilam School values extremely well. 

MEMORY: Memory came from China and stayed with us for a month. We miss her bright, bubbly personality!

PEDALMANIA:

A lot of fun was had when we had a chance to ride a range of different bikes from Pedalmania.
