Well being

Please ensure if your child is bringing their own snack to school that it is of a sensible size. We have had some children bringing in family sized packets of crisps and are trying to share them. Please send individual sized snacks. Thank you!

Learning

This is our exciting learning theme for Term 1B. We will be looking at Myths and Legends and the common themes that they cover. If you would like to find out more about our curriculum please click below:

Global Citizenship

In Term 2 when we return, our first week will include us looking at pollution and what small steps we can take to address this problem.

If you travel anywhere over the holidays and you see pollution, can you take the opportunity to talk to your child about it? Those of you going to the beach are (sadly) likely to see pollution washing up each day- this is great chance to have a conversation with your child about the possible causes of this pollution and possible solutions.

Y3 Charity Christmas Book Collection

Thank you for the books brought in so far. Please can you send the books in by Wednesday 16th December.

This year for our Christmas Appeal we are hoping that the children will bring in some books to support a charity in Chiang Mai. Thomas House is a small special needs unit that looks after children with a variety of disabilities.

Please can you send in a book from any of these categories:

Thai picture books - so someone can read to the children.

Non fiction Thai books about animals or the world around us.

Activity Books

Anything in the tactile range for a blind child (preferably in Thai).

Please send the books in with your child. In December a member of staff will be delivering them to the children at Thomas House. Thank you!
