TEDX at Regent’s Interntational

The Speech Competition is an annual event here at The Regent’s International School, Bangkok. Our English Department understands how difficult and nerve wracking it can be standing in front of an audience and presenting your ideas; which is exactly why we want students to face this challenge!

This year the competition took on a different theme; the style of a ‘TEDX’ conference. TED stands for technology, entertainment and design and was created with the intention to bring communities together who had a thirst for knowledge and wanted to deepen their understanding of the world. TED is all about spreading good ideas; that is exactly what we wanted our students to do in their presentations this year. The categories were as follows:
Year 7 – Why you Should think Positively
Year 8 – Confidence Conquers All.
Year 9 – Why Charity is Necessary.
Year 10 – Life without Compassion, isn’t Living.
Year 11 – My Philosophy for a Happy Life

Every student gave 100% effort to their speech – offering personal ideas and objective advice for members of the audience. The winners from each class performed at the ‘conference’ and an overall winner was chosen by both the students and teachers. Congratulations to the following winners who performed confidently, fluently and passionately:
Year 7 – Jija
Year 8 – Shree
Year 9 – Sarah
Year 10 – Sahasi
Year 11 – Jung Seok

Well done to all students for participating, entertaining and inspiring your fellow students!

Year 3 Weaving

Our first CCS topic in Year 3 was weaving. The students learned how to weave and planned the design for their woven bag. They all really enjoyed the whole process from making their design to creating their woven bag from different materials. Well done Year 3!

6N Assembly – iPads and Friendship

We had a brilliant time in 6N creating our final assembly for Primary. Our learning objective was two fold; to learn more about the different applications that our iPads have, and to reflect on our friendships we have in our class and school. A snapshot of the assembly can be found on our Year 6 blog.

4G Rainforest Assembly

It fills me with pride, when I think about the fabulous effort, that absolutely everyone in 4G made, to make our Rainforest assembly such a huge success. This term everyone has thoroughly enjoyed learning about our Rainforests Topic, and the depth of children’s knowledge, of these precious habitats and their importance to the earth, really shone through in the assembly.

We have all worked amazingly hard, to remember our lines, containing some very, very tricky technical vocabulary, such as ‘absorb,’ ‘basilisk’ and ‘atmosphere.’ The children also showed great maturity, in how they were able to listen to advice on how to make sure that their words were clear and loud, but also delivered in a manner, which would enable the audience to fully understand the important environmental message that was at the heart of our assembly: the earth’s rainforest are under serious threat from deforestation and this is something that affects us all.

We have also had stacks of fun. Making the animal masks was brilliant, exploring habitats and discovering rainforest animals like the sensational tarsier and the super cool basilisk lizard, was both fascinating and highly entertaining. Finally, we mustn’t forget to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Miss Usa, for her assistance with the brilliant masks and costumes, and to Mrs. Lyng, for all of her help with our song about the fearsome green anaconda!

Well done 4G, I’m super proud of you all.

Mr. Gough

PS: Don’t forget everyone; RAINFORESTS NEED YOU!
