Year 3 and 5 Have Their Pre-iCamp Residential Meeting with Parents
Last week the parents from Year 3 and Year 5 came in to find out all about the exciting residential their students will go on next term. They were given a talk by the iCamp staff before asking questions to Mr Michael and Mr Dai about the trip. We all look forward to their adventure in the new term.
Last week saw student educators from Chulalongkorn University visited us. They were shown around the school by Kroo Noke and Kroo Third who were able to answer questions about the school. The students observed classes and worked with our younger students to support the teachers and gain valuable experience of working in a Primary School.
Last week the Eco Beasts added some fish to the pond in the secret garden. Mr Ewen talked about what they would need to live in the environment and how the eco-system can support them. The students will monitor their progress over the next few weeks and hopefully they will thrive in their new home.
Last week the Bangkok FC coaches came to the school to work with our FS3 children. They taught them all sorts of different ball skills, passing and shooting techniques and, most all, had an incredible amount of fun with the students. Thank you all for the efforts with our young students.
Year 3 have been enjoying the library space. They get the opportunity to change books, choose different topic books or choose a book for pleasure. The class teacher guides the students in their book choices and also shares books with them. The library is a quiet, calm place where the students can get lost in a book!
Over the last few weeks, Year 6 students have been selling poppies for charity. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and at this time of year we are asked to remember all people who have died as a result of conflict around the world. Well done Year 6s for supporting this good cause.
Children absolutely love a little bit of petrifying poetry on Halloween! Will your child be inspired to write, learn and perform a haunting Halloween-themed poem for this competition?

This term, Year 5's topic is survival! Students will be learning a range of survival skills that could be of use in a survival situation. This week, they learnt about first aid and how to cope in an emergency. The children identified possible dangers in the wild, learnt how and when to deliver the recovery position and practised dressing wounds. Thank you Ms Debbie for delivering a fun and educational session!
Over the course of 2 afternoon training slots, over 70 support and curriculum staff attended Ms Catherine's Autism Training CPD. Feedback has been that it was very useful, with practical strategies to help our students with autism at St Andrews. The next Learning Support CPD will be on ADHD and strategies to manage this complex neurodevelopmental condition. This will take place next Tuesday and Thursday after school, at the High School and Primary School Campus.
3rd Session: Tuesday 22nd November 2022
All sessions will be from 8:15 am - 10:00 am in the Exam Room at Primary School.
These workshops will help parents identify the three meta skills that will focus on building, maintaining and repairing your connection with your child. The first workshop focuses on the skill CONNECT and looks at what it takes to create a lifelong bond with your child. It will also throw light on parenting pitfalls that we get trapped into which can inhibit this bond.
