Dear G1 parents,
We’ve made it to the end of the year. We would like to especially thank you all for all your patience, adaptability and dedication during this challenging time. This will definitely be a year we will never forget, and we have been super lucky to have experienced it with you all.
Take care, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all in August!

Dear G1 Parents,
Dear G1 parents,
Ms Lisa has created a Loom video to take you through the steps of downloading your child’s Seesaw Portfolio.

Probably best to wait until all your child’s activities have been approved so you have everything.

Dear G1 Parents,
Can you believe we’re heading into our last week of school for this academic year?! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend and found some time to relax.
For our final week of zoom meetings, we thought it would be nice for all Grade 1 to have the chance to see each and chat with friends across the 3 classes. So we have organised whole grade zooms for Tuesday onwards. Monday will be the final chance for the students to meet with their own class. For your convenience, all zooms will begin at 10:00 o’clock, with the exception of Friday because we are waiting to hear what time the talent show will finish before we can set the time.
Here is the schedule:
Monday 10:00 – Zoom with your own class for a final time.

Dear G1 Parents,
Can you believe it’s the first day of June today and that we’re heading into our second to last week of school for this academic year! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and found some time to relax. This week is a short week due to Wednesday being a public holiday.
House Spirit Day
We loved seeing the KIS community engagement in our final house spirit day for the term on Friday. The wacky hairstyles were wonderful and very creative.
Kis Virtual Talent Show
Mr Chris has extended the deadline for talent show submissions until Thursday 4th. So you have 3 more days to submit videos. There are some amazing entries and it’s definitely going to be an amazing showcase of KIS spirit!

PYPX
Last Friday G5 got to showcase their amazing learning, based upon the central idea ‘Self expression can empower people to create change’. This allowed students to make connections with their own passions. The online platform was well received, generating a tremendous amount of support from the KIS community. Awesome job G5!

Zoom Update
Just a reminder that Zoom has made some additional safety and security updates. If you are prompted to add a password before joining any Zoom meetings (specialist, support and homeroom) please use KIS. We believe we have made all the changes required, but please bear with us if there are any small hiccups. Please contact Ms Kirsten kirsten.du@kis.ac.th if there are any issues with specialist zoom links.
After School Activities
Last week KIS After School Activities (ASA) was launched. To give our PYP community a boost in the last four weeks of term. We hope the children will enjoy them and perhaps it gives some parents and carers a short break too! ASA will take place at 2:30 pm. The rooms will be closed for joining as from 2:35 pm.
Here is the link for these activities: KIS Virtual ASA 2:30 Social Times

Dear G1 Parents,
We hope you are all well rested after the weekend. Feeling more hopeful with the easing of even more restrictions of the Nationwide lockdown!
ZOOM Etiquette
Please take a look at the guidelines guidelines shown in the image below (click to enlarge), here are a few pointers to keep in mind:
– Students should be seated, either on a chair at a table/desk, or on the floor (preferably with their back to a wall)
– Whatever device the student is using, it should be positioned in such a way that their hands are free. If necessary, prop up tablets or mobile phones at eye level so that the student’s face is clearly visible.
– Please keep backgrounds simple for instructional ZOOM lessons. Green-screen type VR backgrounds are more suitable for social ZOOMs (example House Meet-Up ZOOMs and upcoming Spirit Activity Day ZOOMs).
– Students should be aware of how to Mute & Unmute their microphones (and know when it is appropriate to do so) as well as Leave a meeting when it’s over. Your child may need your support on how to do these until they can do it independently.
– Please ensure that students eat either before their ZOOM meeting, or wait until it is over.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Grade 1 Team
Dear G1 Parents,
We hope you are all well rested after the weekend.
Hopefully you were able to pick up your child’s work books and pencil cases last Thursday and Friday. Just to clarify the books collected are the students books that we were using in the classroom before the lockdown. There is no new work to be collected. Work will continue to be posted on Seesaw. Parents now have the option to complete Seesaw activities offline and then photograph the work and add the photo to the seesaw post (in any of the books that were collected from school or on any other paper that you may already have at home). In fact, some parents took the initiative to have their child complete the tasks offline already, and post photos of the work on Seesaw.
Parents and students now have the option to do whichever suits them best:

Zoom has been updating all its privacy settings so the specialists teachers have had to update their Zoom accounts. You should have received an updated Zoom Schedule from your class teacher. Please bear with us, as over the coming weeks I am sure there will be some more changes. Best to use the Google Doc that we provided as this will be the most accurate.
Best wishes,
Grade 1 Team
