It’s the start of our ‘Bridges’ topic and we’re making structures using card. Amazing how the same size card can produce so many shapes. These structures were stable, yet we didn’t use anything to join the pieces of card.

On Tuesday we opened our new Yoga after school activity and the Kru Neng (Yoga coach) reported that all of the children were brilliantly behaved and surprised her with their flexibility and stamina.
Yoga is wonderful exercise for both the body and the mind.
Year 10 Art students have been learning a range of techniques and mastered a number of different media. Over the Christmas holiday they have produced beautiful pieces of work in Oil Pastel, Colour Pencil, Collage and Watercolour.
Reception have been making “Little Red Hen” calendars as we are learning the names of the months of the year as well as reading this traditional story as part of our topic and literacy work.

TED is an organisation that encourages us to share good ideas and promotes a love of learning, discussion and thought. Last week 5 brave teachers took to the stage to present their own TED style talks to the students. Subjects included ‘The importance of being Idle’, ‘Feminism is NOT a dirty word’, and ‘Embracing adventure’. It was great to see so many students embracing new ideas and seeing a different side to their teachers.
Students will be giving their own TEDx talks in the new year and the school will be holding an official TEDxYouth conference in March.

We were joined by nearly 30 children during our annual Early Years Christmas Open Afternoon. The children and their families enjoyed a variety of activities, a delicious party tea and a visit from Santa. The afternoon was concluded with a very festive singalong. Our next Open Afternoon will be just before Songkran and the theme will be ‘Easter’.
Head of Primary, Mrs. Rachel Perkins:
Dear Parents,
As the end of Term 1 draws to a close I am reflecting on the wonderful experiences we have all shared as part of our whole school community. The first occasion was the fabulous concert which was held in the first week of term to celebrate the school’s anniversary. The second large event that we will participated in was the wonderful Loy Krathong festival where all the children performed beautifully and the community feel was as strong as ever. Another highlight this term was a Halloween Dress up day and our World Food Day which many long lasting memories were made.
Now it is time for the school community to celebrate being with their families, taking a well deserved rest and recharging the batteries for Term 2.
I will look forward to welcoming you and your child back to school on Monday the 11th of January 2016.
I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
With best wishes,
Rachel
Head of Secondary, Mr. Brian Irving:
Dear Parents,
Another busy term has ended. So many events and functions have taken place that it would be foolish to list them for fear of missing one out and offending those students and staff involved. Needless to say, we as a community are all ready for a break, a time to recharge our ‘batteries’ and to spend an extended period of quality time with our family and friends enjoying all this festive season brings.
New Year is usually a time for reflection of the previous year, but also a time to look forward to the excitement and challenges of the year to come. For our examination groups in particular, Terms Two and Three may be both life-changing and future-determining times where the hard work and determination they apply will be rewarded with outstanding and ‘door-opening’ examination results; any less than this does not bear thinking about.
May I wish all of our families my best festive wishes and a New Year full of optimism, opportunities and open doors!
Warmest regards,
Brian
Regent's International School, Bangkok
