We are all very excited about the sponsored event that is organised for Friday. We have planned a lot of challenges for the children that will stretch their resourcefulness as well as being fun. We hope they have been encouraging people to sponsor them, it is all for a very good cause.
Children will need to come to school in clothes that they can get wet in, and their school uniform and fresh underwear to change into afterwards.
We are hoping lots of parents will we available watch and help out. We need helpers to run each station (don't worry, it will all be explained to the students, and the activities are very simple.) So if you are free on Friday morning please come and join us.
Rain: If it is raining on Friday morning we will make an assessment on the day. We will continue if it is light rain- the children will get wet anyway. However, in the case of heavy rain, we will postpone until Monday.

Fund Raising- our final push!
We are very excited about our fund raising for Shivalaya School in Nepal. So far, following the sale of slime and popcorn, we have raised nearly 50000THB! We will not stop there though!
We are planning a sponsored event on the week beginning Monday 13th June. The actual day is yet to be confirmed. This will combine our theme- Simple Machines- with the subject of moving water from one place to another in one sponsored event. Put simply, the students are to be tasked with designing and making machines (levers, pulleys, barrows, etc) to transport as much water as possible.
Your child will have received a sponsor form and the idea is they collect sponsors for every litre their group transports. We thought it would be difficult to predict how many litres that might come to, so there is another option of simply sponsoring a fixed amount.
One important part of this event is going to be the parental involvement! We are hoping as many of you as possible will come to support the students. We will need you to work with the groups making and operating the machines (don't worry- everything will be set up to be quite straightforward!) and to help make sure they stay safe. It will be a fun and educational experience, as well as helping to raise much needed funds.
The school in Nepal is one that I visited a number of years ago to help them design a new classroom and paint the walls. I have been supporting them ever since. Their water supply was damaged in the earthquake of 2015 and they need about $5000 or £3500 to lay new pipes.
