International Literacy Day - 8th September 2019
We will be celebrating UNESCO’s 52nd International Literacy Day in the PS Library from Friday 6th - Tuesday 10th September embracing this year’s ‘Literacy and Multilingualism’ theme by sharing ‘Stories From Around the World’. We hope the children will choose and enjoy reading and sharing stories which teach them about places and cultures which are different from their own as well as the importance of having good literacy and communication skills. The class teachers will also be sharing a powerpoint presentation for discussion and in order to introduce the children to this special day. Here are some helpful extracts with great ideas which you can even do together at home:
Lots of background information and more details can be found here.
The children from across the school are enjoying the new library space and the opportunity to share books with their friends and teachers. Parents are welcome to relax and share books with their children before and after school, but please remember that during the school day, this is a teaching space.
The PS Library is open from 07:00 - 07:45 am and 2:30 - 4:00 pm.
Children should be accompanied by a parent/guardian during these times. Thank you for your cooperation.
We will be continuing to share our news and messages on Facebook this school year so please DO follow us to keep in touch.
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.
