Learning
Thai Humanities
Next week, as part of Thai Humanities, your child has been asked to think of something that they would like to share about their country/countries, religion or culture. They have a booklet with a space in the middle for them to draw, write, use pictures or photos for something that they would like to tell our class.

Musician of the Month
This month we are celebrating the music of Phum Viphurit, a singer/songwriter from Thailand. This month’s musician may be especially exciting because Phum is visiting Patana later this month to talk to Y6 about song writing and being a musician!
Some favourite songs to listen to are:
Phum Viphurit is a 25 year old singer/song-writer based in Bangkok, Thailand. Raised in New Zealand since the age of 9, his love for laid-back music began there and continued into his adulthood as he began writing and releasing music with Rats Records, an independent label based in Bangkok in 2014.
His musical style can be described as a mixture of cultures and colours, portrayed in a mellow, up-beat yet intimate combination. His first LP, Manchild (2017) included the sleeper hit, 'Long Gone' which would launch the beginning of his international career. This was followed by the EP, Bangkok Balter Club (2019) which included Hello, Anxiety and the lead single, Lover Boy, a track that has since gained over 100 million streams on Spotify and Youtube combined.
Touring both in 2018 & 2019, Phum and his travelling bandmates have toured Asia, North America and Europe, playing live houses and halls to festivals such as Summer Sonic (Japan), Tropicália (USA), Westward Music Festival (Canada), Sziget Festival (Hungary), Off Festival (Poland) and many more.
Enjoy!
