K1: How we organise ourselves - In K1, we have been inquiring about community helpers. Learners have been very enthusiastic and creative during this Unit. We are working towards our summative assessment on “when I grow up, I want to be…”

Y1: Celebrating our Super Improvers - Congratulations to 6 of our Y1 students who have worked hard to improve their learning skills They have worked hard to improve their writing skills, maths skills and have worked with others well in the classroom. Well done!

Y4: Our end of unit showcase - For the end of Unit 5 the students got to choose how they would show what they had learnt about healthy body systems. The learners showcased their learning in so many ways. In the picture you can see some of the children role-playing a scenario. You can also see Ichi’s portfolio reflection where he has given advice to a patient. Top right is a model of the human digestive system.

Y7: Collaborative Learning Outdoors - Year 7 has been developing their ATL skills and have been working collaboratively in teams to build their knowledge about the concepts that they are learning about. They have enjoyed working together in an outdoor environment where they could enjoy the sounds of nature to help inspire them on their projects.

Student success at UDIS - Y8/9

Maysa has become more of a risk-taker this year. She has increased her participation in classroom discussions and she embraced her role as the March Hare in the Y8/9 drama performance of Alice in Wonderland. Maysa also won the visual arts bronze medal in the Thai Ministry of Education’s national competition. Congratulations, Maysa!

EAL: Community helpers

We have been carrying on with describing the roles of different community helpers and begun thinking about the problems they are solving to help keep our community clean, safe and healthy. We thought about what we wanted to be when we grow up. The question we needed to answer was: "What problems do I want to solve when I grow up?" We were being reflective, open-minded and communicators just by having a go at answering that one question.

PSPE: Developing hand-eye coordination

This week, our EY learners in K1 and Preschool had a chance to explore new games and activities to develop hand-eye coordination skills with a range of different materials, such as small plastic balls, tennis racquets, hula hoops, bean bags and many more. The learners had a chance to develop their fundamental skills, such as their throwing, catching and striking skills.

Student council: Planning a Prom - Student Council President Eliza Pettit was busy meeting with the student council in order to plan and prepare for the MYP Prom that will be held on the 9th of June. All students in MY are invited and encouraged to join a night of fun and dance. The theme for this year’s prom is “Hollywood”.
