SALAD (Speaking And Listening All Day) Day

Speaking and listening activities at Regent's International School Bangkok

On Friday 2nd October, Regent’s Secondary School held their first ever SALAD Day. No, this does not mean everybody in the building ate salad for the whole day; SALAD is a literacy initiative originating in the UK which helps generate more focus around speaking and listening skills. SALAD stands for Speaking And Listening All Day; the clue is in the title! For all KS3 students and teachers pens and writing on devices was absolutely banned and all learning had to take place through performance or discussion related tasks.

All departments went to an extra special effort to make these lesson exciting and the school was buzzing with the hum of activity all morning. Teachers had very tightly structured lessons to make sure each students was taking part and was given the chance to speak; it was certainly impressive to see the both the quality and variety of lesson our Regent’s teachers were able to create for our students.

We can’t wait until the next SALAD Day!

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!

Children visit brand new EM Playground!

On Tuesday 9 children from the Primary school were invited to attend a press conference at the new EM playground. The children were escorted by Mrs Perkins and Miss Star and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The children were perfectly behaved and represented the school very well indeed. When the children returned to school they spoke out the visit in line up so they could share their experience with their classmates.
