Home learning.

• Send in a picture of your house. Either with the whole family, your child and you etc; or just a picture of the house. Alternatively you can email to park@ascot.ac.th

• Write a list of words with your child. Choose from:
  tag  gag  gig  gap  nag  sag  gas  pig  dig  got  on  not  pot  top  dog  mog  can cot  cop  cap  cat  cod.
  Choose as many as you like, with two as a minimum. When finished, ask your child to sound out the words and blend the sounds together, support as you feel is necessary. Send in the list with your child as we will be adding it to our learning wall, feel free to decorate with pictures, colouring pens, stickers or any other kind of decoration. 

• Explain with a recognisable household object what a brand is, in your own way. Going from room to room in your house, ask children to find brand names from objects, can they sound out the first letter, or read the word(s).
  Ask what the brand may be about, are there any clues in the pictures?

Goldilocks and the week gone by.

Dear Parents, 

We've been exploring all kinds of activities this past week. Exploring branding, design and form, colours and textures, arranging and sharing and a hearty sprinkle of phonics and writing. The children are now autonomously bringing writing to their own activities and art work, proud of the fact they can label and write lists. 

On Monday we were treated to a visit from Eto's Mum, who followed on from her discussion about cleanliness. We explored testing how clean our hands were using a blacklight.

Some children had to practice cleaning their hands several times. 

Checking for cleanliness.

We learnt how to wash our hands effectively.

Thanks to the two parents that sent in photos of their houses (last weeks homework). If you haven't had time; could you either print and send with your child, or just attach to an email and send over asap ( park@ascot.ac.th ).

On a learning walk we were searching for branding around the school. Children were able to sound out some of the brands, assessing what the brand could be related to, by searching for hints in the pictures. 

Ice cream - very popular. 

Qiv and Et'o looking at our sight words. 

Hong inviting people to count out the animals in his book. 

Lewis's marketing research suggested all children like ice cream!

Peam knew we could increase sales by donning the right attire. 

The shop took form over the week, with help from different children.

Preparing goods for the shop. 

We spent time investigating height, 

...sharing

and different ways of designing. 

Preparing decorations for Halloween...

Role play is a continuous exercise in class!

Minnie learning to mix media in a responsible way, afterwards we talked about resources and how to use them. An important learning curve.

Folding and making props. 

Qiv has FINALLY managed to climb all by herself (under close supervision may I add).

Ploy learning about balance. 

Eto's wonderful archways, learning about shape and physics. 

The children really like to write on the board. They drew scenarios about Goldilocks getting stuck!

Qiv's sorbet dish. 

Children always have access to age appropriate work on computers. 

Teamwork is an important part of our days. 

The children have been having an extremely busy week, keeping everyone rushed off their feet, I hope the next week is even better. 

Thanks for dropping by and please do engage with the homework activities. 

Kind regards, 

Douglas and the RP team.
