The senior classes had an awesome end of year activity on Tuesday afternoon. Sport Canterbury came along to Ilam School. With a fantastic team of volunteers and also the senior teachers to help coordinate the students competed in teams of 7- 8 on challenging events.  Team work and cooperation were important skills required.

WEEK 7 OVER AND OUT

How quickly has this term gone? It is whizzing by.

We have had a huge week working on our speech presentation, holiday and reading programme. Every afternoon we have had swimming, and today the students had a wonderful time playing water polo.





Today each student received a notice about a class trip that I have planned to McLean's Island. it is to take place on Friday 9th December. Please complete the form and get it back to me as soon as possible. I know a few parents have already stated that they are interested in coming along. The more the merrier. 

Coming up next week is the Top Team event which is being run by Sport Canterbury. Please feel free to come and watch or even help out. The students have made up teams of 7 students. They have decided on fancy dress as well. 

CRICKET: 
Two of our teams played a competition game today. The weather decided to clear up just in time to make sure that we did get to play. Well done fto the Black and Red teams for displaying great sportsmanship. 

ROBO FEST:  
Last weekend George was part of an Ilam School team who competed in the Robo Fest. Check out the photos below. Congratulations to George for coming 5th, an awesome effort.
