Clowning Around!

The children had a fabulous time watching clown Eckie's Show! We handed over a cheque for 50,000 Baht!  Clown Eckie said he was "Left Speechless"! Some of the Year 1 children also helped Clown Eckie load his van full of all the donations for The Gift of Happiness. Clown Eckie was so grateful and has updated his website and written about Charter International School. Follow the link below to read it: https://www.gohappiness.org/latest-news  (highlight the whole link and right click). As part of our Topic 'The Circus is Coming to Town' the children have been learning about clowns. They have watched video clips of real clowns, discussing the acts and explaining how it makes them feel. They have had a wonderful time working together exploring the face paints and copying the designs children have created for their clown faces. Some children have dressed up as clowns and practiced different circus skills.

Awesome Artists

This week the children have designed and made price labels for their bags for life, ready to sell to their parents. The money raised will be donated to Clown Eckie for the charity 'A Gift of Happiness'. https://www.gohappiness.org/ The children have also begun to think about their contribution to the back drop for the Early Years and Key Stage 1 Performance. They are creating repeating patterns on pyjamas. The first part of this process was to draw their designs on paper. They then put the paper on top of a polystyrene tile and pressed the pencil through the paper where they had drawn lines. The children will then use acrylic paints to create the printed images... look out for them when you are watching the Performance!
