Loy Krathong

Today, we've had great fun celebrating Loy Krathong. The children all made a fantastic effort to come to school wearing traditional Thai costume and they all looked magnificent. 

Our day began with our usual flag ceremony which today was a sea of bright colours and the pupils stood proudly to sing the anthem. After this, the school gathered in the basketball court to watch traditional dancing from each year group. Then, we assembled at the swimming pool to float an extra special Krathong representing all of us. Our afternoon was spent participating in Thai craft activities which the children loved. There was cooking, singing, films, Thai craft making and all sorts of traditional games. 

Beautiful costumes for Loy Krathong...

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the events, we have had a wonderful day. 

Telling the Time

This week, children in 3C have been learning to read clocks on the hour, half hour, quarter to and quarter past. Some children are even reading time in one minute intervals which is super!

 

First, we looked at the different parts of a clock and we played games which helped us to remember how to convert units of time from 60 seconds into 1 minute, 60minutes = 1 hour, 24hours = 1 day.

Next week, we will begin to compare analogue time and digital time. We will also look at the duration of events as well as the number of days in a month and the order of months in a year. 

Loy Krathong

Loy Krathong will be celebrated at Ascot on Friday 15th of November. Children are asked to come to school wearing traditional clothing. Dancing, cooking, singing and traditional Thai craft activities will take place throughout the day.

Halloween Fun!

On Friday, the children came into school wearing the most fantastic Halloween outfits! Miss Campbell and Kru Bee were a little spooked by all of the zombies, witches, pirates and ghosts who were now lurking around their classroom. We were very grateful to have had Harry Potter to protect us from any harm!

All of the children made a fantastic effort and had a wonderful day learning about the history of Halloween and taking part in Halloween based activities.

We were particularly impressed with Diego's costume which had been handmade by himself alongside his very talented mum, wow!

We thought it would be great fun to begin our extreme reading challenge whilst we were in costume so during our reading hour we ventured out into the school and found some rather ridiculous places to read our books.

Take a look...

Reading in strange places was a lot of fun!
