New Bikes Our brand new bikes for Foundation arrived this month from Denmark. The RABO bikes we ordered from funds raised at the Christmas Fair last year and are purpose-built for school environments, so we hope we will have many years of fun and pedalling from them. They are a huge hit in the Foundation Playground. Staying Safe Our teachers and TAs have also been back to school. A lot of our staff updated their EFR (Emergency First Response) Training with Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, in case there is ever an accident at school. Mathematics Workshop All our Primary Class Teachers were lucky enough to attend a workshop at REPS given by Dr Yeap Ban Har, an expert in teaching Singapore Maths, the Mathematics curriculum we have adopted in our Primary school. You can visit his blog here http://banhar.blogspot.com/ Nit Busting Football in the House This year the weather was kind to us and we managed two days of House Football. There were some very exciting matches and excellent sportsmanship was shown by all. The Year 1s and 2s tested Dr Tasker’s refereeing skills to the full! Unfortunately our first after school football match at St Andrews was cancelled due to the rain. We had a lot of very unhappy players who were really looking forward to their first away game – next time. A reminder that after our half term break in October we will have our Nit Busting Week so please remember to check your child’s hair during the holidays. There have also been two cases of Chicken Pox at the school so please keep your child at home if they are unwell or have rash. Wishing you and your family a healthy October. Warm regards Claire Gordon Head of Primary headpri@gardenrayong.com
