Learning

We will be celebrating the students' learning in basketball on Tuesday 1st October during normal PE lesson times:

4A, 4T,4C and 4K start at 7.40am – 8.40am

4L, 4H, 4D and 4B start at 8.45am – 9.45am

We will have interclass colours again this year.  Your child can wear a shirt that is mainly the colour below.  If they do not have one, there are bibs that they can borrow.  They wear their normal PE shorts and trainers as well.  

Please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the event and has their school uniform in their bag to change into.  The tournament will take place on the Primary Hard Court.

We look forward to seeing students and supporters at the first Year 4 tournament of the year!

Global Citizenship

This week's Key Stage 2 Assembly was about Tiger Spirit Day.  The children have been asked to donate 100 baht (or more) to our charity fund. This money is used for responses to emergencies.  They have been challenged to think of ways that they could earn the money rather than simply asking for the donation.  

If you capture any pictures of your child doing anything to help raise their money, please do send them through to your child's class teacher.  

Birthdays

This week we have had the following students celebrating:
