Weekly Review and Preview

We have had a great start to the term with some tricky work on place value using six-digit numbers. We have also started our new Literacy topic based on explanations using some of the 'Wallace and Gromit Cracking Contraption' film clips. We have also been getting excited and are very much looking forward to the residential next week in Rayong.

There have been a couple of questions regarding the residential so I have included some points below:
  • PE kit - please send your child to school in their PE kits on Monday morning.
  • Pocket money - there will be an opportunity to buy souvenirs at the market on Friday so your child will need no more than 1000 baht. It will be their own responsibility to keep their money safe so I would suggest it being kept in a named envelope or wallet.
