Modroc and a MAD assembly!

This week Year Two have been busy telling the time. This can be a difficult concept for children but we have been impressed with how hard the children are trying to link digital times to clock faces and use language such as 'half past, quarter past and quarter to'. Reading the minute hand is a good way to practice counting in 5's. Please try and take every opportunity to read the clocks at home with your child so they can practice these skills.

Three ACE Team (Assistant Computer Experts) from Year 6 came to Year 2 for an hour this week to teach six Year 2 children how to edit videos using iMovie. It is now the job of these six children to teach the rest of Year 2, and then work in their teams to edit the videos that they created to tell the story of the Heroines.

Work has started on creating statues of ourselves. The children have been asked to firstly create a shape and then strengthen it using modroc.  Next the children will consider why they deserve a statue to be made of them-how have they made a difference? or How might they make a difference in the future?  We are looking forward to some creative ideas!

During the next two weeks there is a lot happening at school. Here are some reminders.

Tuesday 2nd December-Year 2 will watch the Primary Production 'Dream On' at 12:45. Tickets do not need to be purchased for the children for this performance.

Thursday 4th December - BISP Christmas Fair and Yellow Day
Year 2 will visit Santa's Grotto at 10:40. If you wish your child to join this please make sure that you have returned the letter along with 100Baht. The Christmas Fair will begin at 2:30 after school. There are no school activities on this day but Paid activities will continue as usual.

Also on this day - in honour of H.R.H. King Bhumibol's 87th birthday on December 5th, 2014 we have been asked by the Education Department to wear the colour yellow.  Therefore, Thursday 4th December, children do not need to wear school uniform and may wear yellow clothing instead. If they do not have yellow clothes they could simply add a yellow belt or ribbon.

Friday 5th December-SCHOOL CLOSED in honour of H.R.H. King Bhumibol's 87th birthday.
