International lunch

Thank you to all of the parents who attended our International lunch! It was an amazing turnout, we were truly surprised at the number of people who came along to support their children, meet other parents and find out a bit more about what is happening at Ilam School this year. As you can see, we had a most delicious array of food, which was especially appreciated by the children who couldn't believe the amount we had to choose from! If you couldn't make it to our lunch, we are holding another one in term 3. Come along and join in the fun - we would love to meet you.

Visit to Ray Blank Park

Some of the new children and children who have joined us over the last year went on a trip to Ray Blank Park.
At 1.30 we caught the bus to the Waimairi Road shops and crossed the roads at the traffic lights.
We looked at the different shops and visited the dairy. There we bought an iceblock to take to the park with us.
We walked to the park, sat at the picnic tables and ate our iceblocks.
When we had finished, we tried out all of the different equipment in the playground, such as the swings, the slide, the seesaws and the rocktopus.
At 2.45 we showed the bus driver our return tickets and caught the bus back to Ilam School.
We had a fantastic time and it was great getting to know some of the new children who have joined our school.

Welcome to new children

Welcome to all the new children attending Ilam School this year! We welcome children from different ethnicities and cultures, and look forward to meeting and working with you. We are starting our groups next week and are getting prepared with lots of fun activities focusing on speaking, listening, reading and writing.
