Birds in the Spring

Some of Kirsten's groups have been learning about birds. We see more birds in the Spring. We found lots of birds around our school, including blackbirds, sparrows and ducks! They were looking for worms on the grass. Some birds were in the kowhai tree, with their beaks inside the kowhai flowers! We made some bird feeders to help the birds find food in the Spring.

Eid al-Adha Celebration September 2016

On Wednesday 14th September we celebrated Eid al-Adha at Ilam School. Nearly all of our Muslim children came dressed in their special clothes. At lunchtime parents and children came together for a feast in the school music suite. Each child invited a guest from their class to come along and join in the fun! We had an array of the most amazing food, and everyone enjoyed mixing and mingling. Thanks very much to Sara Yousry Moussa, who came up with the idea and helped us plan the day.
