It was wonderful to welcome parents back into the Y6 building today - the children were so excited to share their learning with so many of you!

Supporting our Year 12 students:

Message from CAS students:

We are a branch of a club called "Speaking Hub" and every year we aim to raise as much money as possible for them to buy equipment and host trips for us to donate every year. Each year, we separate the money equally and distribute to all 28 provinces. The schools we're supporting lack English education and supplies and as part of our project, we make flashcards for them every year.

We value and feel privileged to have this high level of quality education, therefore want to help distribute it throughout the whole of Thailand.

Please submit your entries before Friday 19th August 2022. You can bring the 300 thb to school in an envelop and hand this to your Year 6 class teacher or you can make the payment by clicking the link here.

Have fun being creative! Remember you could illustrate the story too or even create a comic strip.

Events around the world

You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show. Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
