From Mrs Gordon: Head of Primary Hello, As we reach the end of Term 2 we have, as always, some hellos and goodbyes to make. Mr Walsh, the new Head of Primary from August <strong>2016</strong>, came to visit us last week and the Student Council got to interview him and find out his favourite colour and football team. And we say goodbye to some people moving on to new countries and schools. Federico and Matthew in Year 4, M in Year 5 and Tobias in Year 6 who are moving to new schools in Thailand. And Erfan and Eisha in Reception who are returning to Malaysia. Good luck in your new schools! The Primary Production, ‘Tut Tut’ was in full swing this week with other schools in the area coming to watch our daytime performances on Tuesday and Wednesday and then our big final performance on Thursday evening. I hope you all managed to get tickets as they all went very quickly! The children are a credit to you and their teachers and are performing and singing wonderfully. You should by now have all received your child’s Term 2 report via email. Please do let me know if your email address changes or if you have not received the report. Water Bottles In a move to encourage hydration and water consumption by the children, in Term 3 Primary children will be expected to start bringing their own water bottles to school. The bottles will go home every day with the children so they can be cleaned and refilled. They will also be able to refill their bottles from the school water coolers. Please write your child’s name on their bottle so the children do not end up sharing the same bottle by mistake. More details will follow from the class teachers shortly. Bake Off Primary held their first House Bake Off in <strong>March</strong>, in which I was lucky enough to be a judge! The bake sale was a fantastic effort by everyone and raised over 9,600 baht, which has been donated to two of the school’s chosen charities as voted for by the children – Hand to Hand http://www.handtohandpattaya.com/ and the Camillian Centre http://www.hiv-aids-kids.org/ . Later in the newsletter we have a full report and photos.
Here are our Year 6s setting up their House Stalls for the Bake Off. Mums and Dads came to join in the sale too. Out and About in Primary Year 4 returned from their residential sailing trip at the Varuna Yacht Club this month full of exciting tales of all their sea adventures. Year 1 stayed a bit closer to home and learnt all about Thailand on their trip to the Thai Thani Cultural Centre (pictured right). And Reception got to buy their tickets and take a real train journey to Ban Plu Ta Luang – all aboard! (pictured below).
