You Rock Ilam School Kids!!

Run a kilometre for kids!!

On Thursday of Week 7, we are going to 'run a kilometre for kids!' The Ilam School House Captains have chosen to support the KidsCan charity. We are also doing some fundraising for our very own school so we can purchase some picnic tables and welcome signs in different language.

How can you help?

Get some friends, family, relatives or neighbours to sponsor you to run the kilometre.

Remember to explain what you are going to do to earn the money and who the money is going to.

This is your last weekend to gather some sponsors!

Passion Time Progress!!

Marthajoy and Emma are really enjoying Passion Time! 

One of the girls is doing woodwork and is holding a prototype of a bedside table she is going to make this term! The other girl is learning to knit. She is holding a pompom she created that she will sew onto a knitted head band.

They are motivated and enthusiastic and learning some fantastic real world skills as well as goal setting and reflecting on what they are doing.

What learning...!

Our collaborative mural

Our collaborative mural is part of belonging in Room 3.  

There is more to come, but this is the centre...

We are spending time, getting know each other, learning to work together, and forming a healthy and positive class culture we can thrive in for the rest of the year!

To collaborate, we had to work with children who had the pieces of the mural surrounding our piece.

We had to make sure the lines matched up.

We had to rework and rework until we had it right.

We needed to sit, side by side and discuss and compare.

We needed to be patient.

We needed to communicate.

It wasn't easy but it was worth persevering...

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini

It is not my strength alone, but the strength of many that contributes to my success.
