Primary Students

Year 1 had a wonderful day on Friday, 18th March, celebrating "Red Nose Day". Everyone made a big effort to get dressed up in something funny and colourful and lots and lots of money was raised by all of the children and staff in the Primary School - nearly 140,000 Baht! We all thoroughly enjoyed the silly acts that we watched in our special assembly - especially the one where Mr. Brown told a story about the 3 Bears and everyone was covered in porridge! The best bit was when Mr. Brown was chased by all of the bears and was covered in custard pies!

The children have started a new topic called ‘Once Upon a Time'. They will be listening to and sharing many different Fairytale and Traditional stories. We will be talking about story characters, settings and magical objects. The children will be talking to each other and sharing well-known stories. To gain a greater understanding of the stories and how they are made up from certain elements, the children will be acting out the stories and ‘stepping out' the different parts. This will help with their sequencing skills and understanding of story structures, which will help them write a re-tell of a story later on in the topic. There are many fairytale and traditional stories in the Primary Library so please go and have a look!

This term we will be starting a new topic called ‘The Toybox'. The children will be talking about their favourite toys, describing their features and how they are used. They will also be listening to lots of toy stories and discussing some adventures they have shared with their toy. Further into the topic, they will also get the opportunity to look at some older toys and discuss ways in which different toys have changed over the years. The children have already been busy coming up with their own ideas for their new topic and they are so excited about the next few weeks ahead.

This half term, the Year 1 children will be starting a new topic called "Let's Celebrate!" This topic is looking at what, why and how we celebrate things. We will be starting our topic by discussing all of the different celebrations we know of and participate in. Some of these might be; Loy Kratong, Chinese New Year, Diwali, birthdays, weddings, Christmas, family reunions etc. We will be focusing on the part that food, music, dance, costume and decorations play in each celebration. Through this topic the children will be expanding and improving upon their enquiry skills and they will be learning about and developing a greater understanding of celebrations around the world. We are all very excited about this topic and are sure the children will thoroughly enjoy it too!

As part of their topic 'Growing, Growing, Grown!' Year 1 went to Samrong Market this week. They had a great time using the coins to buy all sorts of different fruits. When they came back to school they used their fruits to make a fruit monster!

Have a look to see what they got up to...

Year 1 welcomed our Year 5 buddies today, who came and helped us celebrate Tiger Day by coming and doing some "Tiger Art" with us all. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed being able to work with our very own helper!

Please remember that you can click on the links at the bottom of this page to take you to the Blog for your class. You will find all sorts of things that the children have been doing, or maybe even activities that you can do at home. Don't forget that you can post comments on the Blogs too - it is always good to hear from the children about what they think of the activities and events posted.

The Year 1 Team

The children in Year 1 have settled in incredibly quickly over the past week, which is wonderful to see, and we can already see that we are going to have a lovely time with them all. We are all looking forward to working with them and making sure that they all reach their potential - both academically and socially.

The Year 1 Team

On Friday, all the children from Year 1 organised a traditional Temple Fair in the Year 1 Playground. All week, the children designed and made a wide variety of games and activities, all linked in some way to Maths. We had games involving money, mass, capacity, doubling and halving, times-tables and much more beside. The money raised went to the Year 1 charity and the children really enjoyed participating in all their friend's games too.
