Father’s Day, or “Wan-Por” is a very important celebration in Thailand. We will have our Father’s Day Celebration for the whole school on Tuesday, 4th December 2018 from 8.30am to 9.30am. This is an opportunity for our students to express their gratitude to fathers, guardians or other special family members.

Parents and Guardians are invited to join us in our school celebration which will be activities at the school’s stage followed by our morning celebration ‘Breakfast with Dad’.

We invite you and your child to wear yellow or a yellow shirt. The school will provide the breakfasts, tea, coffee and juice but parents may also bring extra if they wish.

School will be closed on Wednesday 5th December.

Please be reminded that if you collect your child from school before the end of ECAs at 4.30pm then a slip must be signed by a member of the leadership team. This is to ensure our registers are updated to keep everyone safe in the event of a fire drill. We thank you for your support with this.
If you would like to sign up for a parent consultation meeting on Wednesday 12th December please sign your name in a time slot suitable for yourself on the sheets outside the admin office. Consultations will take place in your child's classroom.

The children finally finished their Himalayas D&T work by adding the finishing touches to Base Camp. You can see the pictures below but do feel free to come and take a look at the brilliant work they have created!

Also this week, the children created their own 2D and 3D shapes using lollipop sticks with the extra challenge of having to tell their partner the properties of the shapes that they had made!

To start off our traditional tales unit, we began looking at the story of Hansel and Gretel. The children analysed the different parts of the story and identified the introduction, build up, problem, resolution and ending to the story before writing a letter to their grandma in the role of Hansel or Gretel.

The children have begun designing their own floating garden which ties in so nicely with all the topics we have covered so far this year: D&T, rivers, india and materials. it will also be something that feeds into our next science topic which is flowering plants!
