Clowning Around!

Image
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. ...

Running, Writing and... Marshmallows!

This week the children have discussed a series of pictures and then written a story about what happened. The story involved a monster creeping up behind a boy toasting marshmallows on a camp fire.

Did you know that if you are going to have hot chocolate then you also need biscuits to dip in it? During our English lessons we have been reading the story of The Turtle and the Monkey. This week we have planned our own version of this story, by changing parts of the story. We have also begun to create a story S to tell our stories by drawing the illustrations. Next week we will add the writing to our story S. ...

Longer, Shorter and Taller

Image
In Maths this week the children have been exploring the concept of length. They have used vocabulary including: longer, shorter and taller to discuss their learning. Some children put themselves into order from the tallest to the shortest. We measured one another using centimetres. Some children solved problems by identifying the longest lines and then used a ruler to draw a shorter line. Some children used play dough to make longer and shorter snakes. They then used cubes to measure how long each snake was. Some children were able to solve a word problem: Two children make a tower each. They share 20 cubes between them. Child 1 makes a tower that is tallest. How tall could each tower be? In English we are reading the story 'We All Went on Safari'. We have been thinking about the different animals we might see. The children worked with a partner to write descriptions of different animals. ...
