Living our school values:
We are balanced and fulfilled
Gift giving
Giving gifts to friends and family is a lovely thing.
However, we do not expect or encourage gifts from a family to the whole class.
Edible gifts can cause problems for some families, and we do not allow sweets/candy in school.
Many of our students are giving gifts to families and children in need -and this we completely support.
A note from the Principal
This
week, we have enjoyed two special events. On Wednesday, we joined 32 members of
our choir at the British Club for an evening of carols. It was the most magical
night under the stars and made us reflect on how fortunate we are to be part of
such a diverse community and in such a special place, Thailand! On Thursday, Y5
did themselves and teachers extremely proud with their bring, buy and bake sale.
A huge amount of creativity and hard work went into this – well done to all.
Next week, is the end of our busy term. We are all looking forward to a week of
festivities, including the Primary staff party, the Christmas concert and the
Christmas assembly. Our paperless reports will be published on Friday and this
document provides a snapshot of your child’s progress and attainment thus far.
We are currently undertaking a review of our assessment and reporting
practices, as we look to make them more relevant and meaningful.
This will be my last note of the year and so I would like to take this
heartfelt opportunity to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New
Year. Thank you parents for all your ongoing support, open dialogue and
commitment.

Learning
Our Geography learning next term will start with us looking at where students have been over the break. To support this, please send in a photo of your child. These photos will be very helpful, even if you have stayed in Thailand or in Bangkok for the whole time. We will be looking at locations whether the features there are physical or human.
Global Citizenship
Monday is the final day for book donations. Please keep them coming!
We will continue to collect blankets all week.
General Information
Snacks - Nut Free School
We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.
Birthday celebrations
We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.
If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.
