Our New ILE - Innovative Learning Environment

This year we started the year in our new upgraded ILE classroom. 

ILE stands for Innovative Learning Environment. We feel so lucky to have this amazing learning space which offers us a variety of different furniture, equipment and devices that will keep us tuned into and help support our learning.
The furniture is a mixture of tables and seats of different height. We have portable devices and stationary workstations. The colours of our walls and furniture are really cool and bright. it makes you happy. We also have a breakout room that offers a quiet working space if we need it.

We also share this wonderful workspace with our neighbour the MEGAMINDS.  You will see some of their beautiful faces in our photos below.
In our ILE we work together with the MEGAMINDS for Reading at the moment. This is a very new learning style for us so we as well as the teachers are still getting familiar with it. Working together with our neighbouring class in the same learning space has been a challenging an excellent experience for us, but we hope to do a lot more in other subject areas during the year.

Group discussions are always encouraged because we can learn a lot from others
