The Year 3 student councilors have been a fantastic addition this year to the CAT team. In their meetings, they have discussed how to spend the money raised for Thomas House and have been fantastic advocates for the fundraising events, creating videos and performing in assemblies.
We then had our final student council meeting on 12th June, where we looked back over the year as student councillors. We have been super busy! It also involved pizza to celebrate!
On 28th May, we had an assembly to introduce Busking Day to Year 3. The assembly included inspiring performances from a pianist to dancers and the rules and background of Busking Day were introduced. We also had a story called 'Remarkably You' by Patrice Barton, to inspire the children when thinking about their performances and the importance of being them and showcasing their skills! We look forward to seeing their acts!
We also shared the fantastic news of how our Smile Day donations helped three children.
In the assembly we spoke about what things we could do. We cannot wait to see the acts perform on the day.
It's been a busy year with the CAT team. We have had lots of events to help raise money for Thomas House.
The money raised through Christmas cards sales went towards buying looms in Thomas House to help children learn to weave. The paints donated by Y3 at Christmas were used to create a mural outside the room. They were so happy with the results. Some of the pictures are during construction.

Wow! What an amazing achievement for Year 3. It was great to see all of the donations for Thomas House under our year group tree. I'm sure they will be very thankful for the donations we received. Well done Year 3.
We had great fun on Friday celebrating Friendship Friday, wearing bright colours and participating in various activities throughout the day. One incredible part of this was the Market. It was lovely seeing so many Christmas cards being bought for the Thomas house charity! The students did a fantastic job selling them to parents and teachers at the market and at the end of the day. Year 3 raised an incredible 7574 baht! I think the decorations made by our lovely Year 3's definitely helped!
It was a fantastic opportunity to think about those connections we have not only in school, but further afield and allows us to continue to develop these friendships further. By supporting Thomas House, we are forming fantastic friendships and show we care about the community. In total, Year 3 raised an amazing 13,409 baht with their donations towards the day, which will undoubtedly help our charity Thomas House.
