Pledge Tree

On Friday we commemorated 100 days since the King of Thailand passed away.

A monk came to school, and the children gave him food and offerings.

Recently our children have been thinking of positive  changes they could make in their own lives.  They wrote their ideas down in the form of pledges. They wrote one pledge for ‘at home’ and one pledge for ‘at school’. Everybody hung their pledges on our special pledge tree.

It was a wonderful idea and the resulting tree looks beautiful. It will stand as a reminder for our students to always aim for their goals. 

 

New Year’s Resolutions

It’s almost 2017. Can you believe it? 2016 has gone so fast. This week our students have been thinking about what resolutions and pledges they can make for the New Year. They’ve thought about small, positive changes that they can make at home and at school.  

Check out some resolution ideas int he video below. 

Now listen carefully to the children in the video below. They are talking about their New Year’s resolutions. They go to a school called Evergreen Mill Elementary. It’s in the United States of America. 

What are your resolutions for the New Year?

Merry Christmas

We’d like to wish all of our students and parents a very Merry Christmas. You can watch some of our children talking about the holiday season in the video below.

What are your plans for Christmas eve, Christmas day and Boxing day? All of the staff and students at SorBorOr are looking forward to the Boxing day celebration we have planned for Monday. It’s going to be great! 

Merry Christmas!

Christmas and Boxing Day

At SorBorOr we’re starting to think about Christmas. This year we thought we’d do things a bit differently and hold a small celebration on Boxing day.Boxing day is the day after Christmas. On this day people spend time with their families and give each other gifts.

We also want to think about how different countries and cultures celebrate Christmas around the world.

How much do you know about Christmas?

Take a peek at how some families celebrate Christmas in Great Britain. 

Now take a look about how other countries celebrate around the world.

What do you think is the most interesting Christmas celebration?

Review Week #Collaborate

This week the students reviewed some of the things they have been learning about during the past three weeks. 

The students in P5 and P6 had to work closely together and collaborate with one another. P6 debated the use of animals in sports and P5 presented their ideas about weird sports. 

Animals in sport – Debate 

P6 chose a sport which uses animals and debated the ethics of the sport. Half the class thought the sport was bad and were against it, and the other half thought the sport was good and were for it.

Weird sports around the world

P5 had to prepare a brief presentation about a weird sport. They acted out the sport and each person spoke. They worked really well together.
