History in Action!

Year 8 students get active!

In learning about the Birth of Rome, Year 8 students have been role-playing the two main stories of Romulus and Remus (the more widely used, popular and better known of the two) and the lesser known story of Aeneas. Students had lots of fun re-enacting the battle scenes and took great pleasure in slaying their classmates!

In the Aeneas story there was also a love story where the Queen of Carthage falls in love with Aeneas only to be later abandoned as Aeneas continues his quest and spiritual calling for power. The love scene cause a little embarrassment among some students, although no kissing or cuddling was allowed, but nevertheless good fun had by all.

From Mr. Brian Irving, Head of Secondary

It my pleasure once again to welcome a group of Secondary Parents to school to engage in a presentation on the Changing Teenage Brain where we looked at some of the neuroscience behind why teenagers behave as they do. I shall shortly be making an abridged version of the presentation available, in addition to the key points translated into Thai.
Last week, the Secondary students participated valiantly in our annual Sports Day. Despite the searing heat, the various events were all competed for competitively and this year we had a staff team in the mix whose fortunes were mixed. An excellent event that was enjoyed by all who attended!
On Monday we welcomed Peter Dalglish to school again to talk to the students and staff about his many and varied experiences of giving service to others. As inspirational as usual, Mr Dalglish enthralled the audience and encouraged the students and staff to make a lasting difference to the lives of people much less fortunate than ourselves.
Have a learning filled week.
Brian

From Mrs. Rachel Perkins, Head of Primary

Dear Parent,

It is amazing how time flies when you are having fun. The weeks now seem to be wizzing along to Christmas and I can not believe that we only have three weeks left of this term.
The school is preparing for the festive season and the children are all beginning to rehearse for their Christmas performances. Please check the ‘Important Dates’ section and add all these exciting events to your diary. Another fun event that we are planning is the Early Years Open Afternoon where all the children will have a wonderful, fun filled afternoon and even a special visit from Father Christmas, please tell your friends and family and register your place with the Admissions team. The weekend the school will be at Ploenchit Fair and I hope to see you all there, having fun and hopefully joining us on the water slide. I am sure it will be a great event and a fantastic way to raise money for charity.
Have a great weekend!
with best wishes
Rachel

Visual Arts trip to Bangkok Sculpture Center

This term Year 12 IB pupils have started a new topic on sculpture. To inspire them, we visited the Bangkok Sculpture Center which celebrates sculptural art of Thailand.

The collection shows work from the ancient Buddhist period to the rise of the modern era which has been influenced by the history, social issues and transitions of Thailand.

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed their day and have come back bursting with creative ideas, so come and see their sculpture exhibition next term!

To reward those who show determination in English, we have created a ‘Stars of English’ newsboard to give recognition to students who are working above and beyond their teachers’ expectations.

See our ‘stars’ this month!

Amy – Year 7

Amy works incredibly hard in English. Her classwork and homework are always of an excellent standard and show great care and effort.

Kam – Year 10

Kam’s short story this month was fantastic and she put a great deal of effort into writing and redrafting it. Kam is always polite and hardworking, and as a result all of her work is of a similar high standard.

This month, Mint has redrafted her written task, completed two practice questions and volunteered to re-write an essay to improve it. This is representative of the huge effort she has put in since joining Regent’s and Mint has made fantastic progress as a result.

It’s all a mystery in Year 2!

This week Year 2 have started an interesting unit in the CCS work we have started on Mary Anning. The children became detectives and had to look for clues in some mystery pictures. Each picture had a little bit covered up and we had to work hard with our partner to spot the clues that told us what might be happening in the picture! Year 2 were very good at the detective work and guessed lots of the pictures!

Creative crafting in Early Years

This week the children have been working on their creative skills in the Early Years. The children loved making a range of crafts and having them displayed around the classrooms and shared area. Expressive arts and design involves enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities. Well done Early Years!
