Primary Students

The Year 1 Team have sent home some work for the children to do this afternoon - you will find it in the Red Books. Please feel free to send it back in to school for your child's teacher to check and go over it with the children.

Many thanks,

The Year 1 Team.

Bangkok Community Theatre would like to thank all those audience members who came to see Pinocchio this weekend. Almost 700 people saw the play over the first four performances and we know that it must have been a difficult decision to come or not to come given all the news reports. Thank you for your support.

We have been hard at work trying to find a way to stage an additional performance to accommodate those audience members who already have tickets but were unable to attend this weekend. This afternoon we confirmed arrangements with The British Club to offer one additional performance next Saturday, March 20th at 11am.

So, if you already have a ticket but did not attend this weekend, and if you would like to attend the performance on Saturday March 20th at 11am, please email pinocchio@sala.net to confirm your seats. Please email your confirmation with the number of people expected to attend on the 20th at 11am, plus  the ticket numbers and the date and time of your original ticket.

For example:  "The Smith family of four will attend at 11am on Saturday March 20th. We originally had 4 tickets for the 1:30 performance on Saturday March 13th and our ticket numbers are 025-028."

If you know you can not attend the Saturday 11am show, please let us know and if we can sell off your tickets for you, we will.

Please remember that every adult and every child (regardless of age) must have a ticket to the show and that you should arrive 45 minutes prior to showtime to participate in the crafts which are included in the ticket price.  The British Club will provide snacks and refreshments both before and after the show but these are additional; they are not included in the ticket price.  There is no parking at the club and the closest skytrain stop is Chong Nonsri.

Thank you very much. We hope to see you at the show!

Dear Parents,

As the school will be closed this Friday, 12th March, due to the current political situation the Year One team would like to suggest a couple of great websites that your children can explore to support our learning this week.

The Fairytales website has a number of traditional stories that your children are becoming familiar with. Please have a go at a few of the different activities.

In Numeracy we have been learning about Place Value and looking at what the digits represent in different numbers ictgames.com have a few great games to support this concept.

In addition to this your children should have their spelling books so they can practise their new spellings for next week. We will ensure they also bring home an extra book or two to read.

We hope that you enjoy these games and activities; have a happy and safe weekend.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Best wishes,

The Year One Team.

Today all Year One children took part in our Year One 'Spellathon' where they had to correctly spell 20 words. Some children went on to do the 'Super Spellers' very difficult words.

The children were sponsored to do these spellings and some of the money raised will go to 'Friends for all Children orphanage to buy milk, nappies, powders and shampoo. The rest of the money will go to Baan Dada Children's home in Kanchanaburi.

Thank you to all those parents and friends who have supported their children in learning these spellings and raising the money!

Yesterday the Year 1 children enjoyed a fantastic morning of sporting activities, all organised by the PE department. Many of the parents came to support the children as they ran, jumped, dribbled (balls, not food!), threw, bounced and shot for over an hour!

Look at the photos here to see some of the children from 1M enjoying their Sport's Day.

There have been lots of strange things happening in Year 1 this week, with an invasion of "Liitle People" in all of our classrooms! Each night they have been coming to life and playing in our classrooms. In 1M, they wrote letters to the children asking them to make more suitakle games and activities for them! Have a look at our blogs to see what they have been up to:

Today 1M had a really exciting PE lesson - they got to use the new Air Track for the first time! The Air Track is a large inflatable track, like a trampoline, which the children can use to practise their jumping, bouncing and gymnastics skills.

All the children really enjoyed the session and learnt new skills - have a look at the photos by clicking on the link to the Photo Gallery or visit the 1M Blog for more photos!
