Cooperation

Today we presented an assembly on cooperation. We acted out a story about two donkeys who fell down exhausted and hungry because they could not cooperate. We are proud of ourselves for demonstrating cooperation so well. Here is a picture of us cooperating, creating a poster about cooperation. Another highlight of our week has been interviewing teachers about their cultural backgrounds. In our literacy lessons, we spent time writing carefully worded questions for these interviews. The experience of interviewing a teacher helped us develop in confidence and most importantly we were fascinated to hear about the traditions, values and beliefs of Scotland, South Africa, England and China. Here is Natasha interviewing Ms. Maria about the culture of South Africa. Natasha was able to come back and report her findings to the class.  After these interviews, we wrote letters to thank the teachers involved.  We've done a good amount of shared reading this week...

Term 1 Week 9

  We hope everyone will have a calm and relaxing half term break. Whether staying in Udon or traveling do remember to stay safe. We hope that everyone will return to school face to face after half term. ผมหวังเป็นอย่างยิ่งว่าทุกท่านจะมีช่วงพักที่สงบ. ไม่ว่าจะพักอยู่ในอุดรธานีหรือเดินทางไปต่างจังหวัด ผมหวังเป็นอย่างยิ่งว่าทุกคนจะกลับมาพบกันที่โรงเรียนอีกครั้งหลังจากช่วงพัก. We packed bags for a weekend break in a hotel. We remembered many important things but most of us forgot at least  one thing.  นักเรียนจัดกระเป๋าเพื่อเข้าพักในโรงเเรม. เรามีของจำเป็นที่นำติดตัวมาด้วยหลายอย่างแต่ทุกคนต่างก็มีอย่างน้อยหนึ่งสิ่งที่ลืมนำไป. We have begun our preparations for our Year 5/6 Primary Years Programme Exhibition (PYPX). We have created a display outside the classroom which will chart our progress. We have worked out our groups, mentors our central idea. We will share more information with you after the half term break.  นักเรียนได้เริ่มเตรียมการสำหรับโครงงานชั้นประถมเยียร์ 5/...

OUR FIRST WEEK AS YEAR 6

We Are Year Six Welcome to Year 6. Here is our first photograph together. Why were we all smiling so much that day? Well, there are so many reasons. Firstly, we were glad to welcome Moriah, our new classmate from Idaho. We're looking forward to getting to know her more and finding out about where she has come from.  Secondly, we realise that we are fortunate enough to have a large classroom with a beautiful view over green fields. Another reason for the smiles is that we also had the opportunity to arrange the room as we wanted it. A third reason is this: - Yes, we've enjoyed our first week together. Please continue following our blog. It will be updated weekly and contain things to make you smile too!
