Just a gentle reminder that all library books will need to be returned before the end of term. Students will only be allowed to return their library books during their library sessions.
Thank you.

Please remember that on Thursday 5th December school will be closed in remembrance of HM King Bhumibol’s Birthday.

Last Friday’s non-uniform day was a great success, as a community we raised 23,000 Baht for PAWS Bangkok.
Reading
Literacy/UOI
Continued learning about procedural writing.We looked at how time connectives can be used to order our steps/instructions such as first, then, next, after that, last and finally. They had a go at writing instructions using time connectives and illustrations.
In groups children were given different pictures. They then had to write what they Saw, thought and wondered about the pictures. Afterwards we discussed our responses.
ICT
This week the children continued their coding sessions. This week they learned to get/collect items using the new function button.
Maths
Holiday Concert
Mr Chris met with Parent Reps last week to clarify what costumes each class needs to wear for the concert.

The G1 Learning engagements from 18th – 22nd November 2019 below.
UOI
Students compiled a list of things that we use on a daily basis, and what needs to be replaced in G1. They were then able to share ideas with a partner/class and record in words and pictures.
Maths
Students worked with a partner to count forwards and backwards from any starting point. Use hundreds chart for support and for peer assessment. Students will add their name to a “I can count forwards and backwards” once they have been peer and teacher assessed with 4 accurate answers in a row. (from any number)
Students are given one piece of a number chart jigsaw puzzle, place it on a mini whiteboard and add the rest of the numbers to 100, or at least the numbers around the puzzle piece.
Practiced using ordinal numbers. Students drew bead chains and indicated the position of particular beads using ordinal numbers.
Students used Numicon/base tens to build a number. Then they drew the number in different ways e.g. pictures/tally marks, had to write the number in both number and words.
Children practiced counting in 2s/5s/10s finding patterns
Reading
Literacy
Continued learning about procedural writing by examining a range of procedures and identified common elements of their structure. They followed instructions to complete simple tasks. They wrote sentences to support each illustration and step.
ICT
This week the children continued their coding sessions. This week they learned to simplify their codes using a repeat function button.
Holiday Concert
Mr Chris has asked that leading up to the concert it would be really helpful if the G1 students could practice their class songs. He has also posted costume ideas for each year group.

The G1 Team
Dear G1 Parents,
Thanks again to all of you who attended the G1 Parent Teacher Conferences last week. We appreciate your patience and flexibility with the changes last week.
The G1 Learning engagements from 11th – 15th November 2019 below.
Last Monday was the celebration of Loy Krathong, The Festival of Lights. During Thai and TAL the children got to make Krathongs which the children really enjoyed doing.
UOI – Goal Setting
The children thought about some things that they are good at and identified what they did to improve. They will continue to look at areas where they need to improve and come up with steps to help them achieve their goals. Goals may connect to many different learning areas and support the students to reflect on their mental and emotional development.

ICT
This week the children started their first coding session. It was an invaluable learning experience for the children in understanding that it is ok to make mistakes and that we can learn from them.
Holiday Concert
Before we know it the holiday concert will be upon us. Mr Chris has asked that leading up to the concert it would be really helpful if the G1 students could practice their class songs.

Non-Uniform Day Friday November 22nd.
This Friday the KIS Primary and Secondary Student Councils are holding a whole school non-uniform day. This event is to support PAWS Bangkok who undertake very valuable work to care for injured and stray cats around Bangkok. Students are asked to donate 20 Baht to be part of this event, however if you wish to donate more please do as PAWS is in desperate need of funds at the moment.
Thank you,
The G1 Team
Dear G1 Parents,
Our school is building community spirit by collecting gifts for a local orphanage “Pakkred Babies Home“. We are showing that we care about these kids whose ages range from 1-7 years old.
How?
By making the following types of donations: money, toys, school/art supplies and Thai books.
Donations can be dropped off to your Homeroom Teachers or in the Atrium.
Happy Holidays!!!
Dear G1 Parents,
Thank you for your support and patience last week, with us having to close G1 due to Influenza A.
For those of you who were able to attend the parent conferences last week. It was a great opportunity to meet with you and discuss your child’s progress with you.
If would like to keep the same conference times for Thursday and Friday this week you can, or else if that does not suit you, please choose one of the other sessions on offer from the PDF attached in the email.
Please be sure to email your child’s class teacher your preferred time as soon as you can.
The G1 Learning engagements from 4th – 8th November 2019 below.
Writing/UOI
In our new unit Sharing The Planet – Choices the writing genre will be procedural writing. This week the children had a go at using pictures and words to show the different steps in completing a simple task e.g. making a sandwich. It was a great opportunity to see what G1 already knew about procedural writing e.g. arrows, time connectives, boxes, numbers etc.
Students have started and will continue to summarise the UOI in one sentence, given a sentence starter such as “If everyone fulfill their responsibilities at school, then ….”
Children started looking at goal setting. They thought about some things that they are good at and what they did to get better. They will continue to look at areas where they need to improve and come up with steps to achieve them.
Maths
Reading
Global Read ALoud
We read our final selections for the 2019 Yuyi Morales Picture Book Study called The Little Night by Yuyi Morales and Grandfather Twilight by Barbara, Helen Berger. We will continue with this as we compare the two stories using story mountains and venn diagrams.
