Students in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 at St Andrews International School Bangkok have been creating some amazing things with recycled cardboard tubes...Read on for some valuable information regarding ECA start dates and the routines for collecting your children after their club.
Have your children been demanding toilet roll and kitchen roll inners this week? If so, you have probably not been alone struggling to keep up with the demand.
It has been lovely to see the creativity in the classrooms as the children use very similar resources and a lot of brain power to design and make things that are so completely different. The children have been encouraging their teachers to think outside the box!
There was an awful lot of discussion, some great collaboration, some adapting of designs, reflecting and evaluating.
Of course this has resulted in the children wanting to carry on projects at break times… and our craft bins being emptied very quickly. If you have any egg boxes, cardboard tubes and cereal boxes at home, you can bring some of them down to the T Block where you will see bins. Cardboard is a bit more versatile as it is easy to cut and paint. I have seen some people already filling the bins so thank you for that.
Your design should be bright and colourful.
You should think creatively about how best to convey what each letter represents.
STEAM also helps to promote creativity, collaboration and communication – can your logo represent these elements too?
Consider the use of colour and the style of your lettering. Which images will you choose to use?
You can work individually, with a partner or in a small group.
Your design can be completed on A3 or A4 paper as it will need to be scanned.
Please hand your logo design to your class teacher by Monday 24th September and they will award you 2 house points.
Happy designing!
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
Last Friday, the STA Primary campus was transformed into a celebration of all things maths! The day was packed with engaging, hands-on activities across all year groups, making maths truly come alive for our students.
Senior student at St Andrews Bangkok, Pun (Year 13), devises an innovative solution for effective waste management. Recently, he completed an ambitious project: an AI-powered waste sorting system. After much research and testing, he got the system to work and put the model to use in one of our rooms at school!
Physics students from St Andrews Bangkok made quite an impression at the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition and won the Best Outreach Award for their brilliant work. BL4S is a prestigious global physics contest organised by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany), inviting High School students worldwide to propose detailed experiments to be conducted at a particle accelerator beamline. While our students did not win the main prize of conducting their experiment in Geneva, they still stood out and were recognised from an entry of over 400 teams.
