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!

Luring Ladybirds
Some Room 3 children have created a ladybird garden based on their inquiry from last term 'The Secret Lives of Living Things.'
Ladybirds like umbrella shaped flowers that are wide so they can land on them easily. They also love herbs.
Some of the flowers and herbs ladybirds like are parsley, coriander, fennel, dill and angelica. They love cosmos, alyssum, geraniums and dandelions. Ladybirds also like cornflowers, especially the blue ones!
One of the girls wanted to attract ladybirds because they are beneficial in pollinating flowers. They are also predatory insects that help control garden pests. The girls painted their planter box in the colours of a ladybird. They have planted alyssum and parsley around the edge with blue cornflowers and mixed cornflowers in the middle.

Our great assembly!
Last Thursday we had a fantastic school assembly. Our special guests were Richard from the SPCA and Anneliese from Alzheimer's Canterbury. They were thrilled to be there to receive the incredible amount of money we raised from 'Run a kilometre for charity!" They each received a whopping $4500 from Ilam School kids! They were very pleasantly surprised! Richard said it was the biggest cheque the SPCA had received!!
We all felt very proud that we had done our bit to give back. The House Captains presented the cheques to the charities and felt very proud they had chosen these two important organisations to support.
We also announced the prize winners from the junior, middle and senior school. These children had raised the most money! After that, they announced the house that had raised the most money. That house was RAKAIA!
A HUGE well done to EVERYONE at ILAM SCHOOL.
