Balances with a partner:  This week we are going to put all of these together into a routine with a partner. 

ROPE CHALLENGE

To finish off her time with us, Ms Walsh-Oakes gave us a rope challenge. 

We were tied together and had to work out how to get out without untying the ropes. 

And the other challenge was to get the hoop down to the ground by using only two fingers each. How di you go with this?

 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. 

WALK WHEEL WEEK

Thank you for supporting your child for our Walk Wheel Week. It was great to see the work that went into decorating bikes and scooters.
