The Primary School Library at St Andrews International School Bangkok has lots of fun Halloween activities on offer for the children to enjoy this week and don’t forget to donate any used books which are still in good condition to the Used Book Sale and earn house points.
This week we are enjoying some Halloween fun in the Library with a display of our ‘spookiest’ books, a Halloween Haiku and scary pumpkin making activities. We have some templates and coloured paper at the ready and will be giving 1 house point to everyone who takes part and adding them to our ongoing displays in the Library. Happy Halloween!
Please bring in your books for our Used Books Sale by Friday 16 November.
Our next Used Books Sale will take place simultaneously with our Book Fair throughout the week of 26 - 30 November and so we invite you all to please start filling up the House-named boxes in the Library with any books you no longer have a use for - in good condition please! House points will be awarded directly to Akha, Lahu, Karen and Yao NOT to individual students or classes BUT of course the more books you put in to your house’s box the more points will be accumulated and we will calculate the totals after the deadline date which is Friday 16 November.
