Monday, 27 April 2026

Huge thanks to Ms McMurtrie and her class for organising and running the ANZAC assembly on Friday.

What a huge week Week 1 was.

On Wednesday afternoon, we met with our buddies to make poppies, as seen in the previous BLOG Post.

Thursday, we had our Ilam School Cross Country. This was the first big event for our house captains. Ka Pai for your mahi.

We had to set up at morning tea time, and then some of them had to lead the juniors on their race.

We then raced over to the Ilam Fields to set up before the middle and seniors event in the afternoon.

A huge welcome back to Term 2:

This term we welcome Jua, who is from Korea. She began with us on Monday. We are so happy to have you in our class.

Today we worked with our buddies from Room 12 to make Poppies. They look awesome!

Laura was the only Ilam student who qualified for hte Primary Sport Canterbury swimming event.

She swam in the 50m Freestyle event and the 100m individual Medley.

Congratulations, Laura, for finishing 6th in Canterbury. What an amazing effort. So proud of you! (Just like you grandma is)

This term we have been learning about different parts of gymnastics:

Shapes: Straddle, Stretch, Pike and Tuck

Movement: Battement, Skip, Releve, Step hop

Rolls: Elephant, Dish, Pencil, Teddy Bear

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

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?
