The Birthday Project

I think this is going to be really special this year. I have always wanted to find a way to make birthdays more meaningful in class, more unique and special than just having some cupcakes, leaving a mess on the floor and then going home!

What do you think of The Birthday Project?

These photos show parents and students of 6SS looking at the students’ cards on the Gradual Release of Responsibility and discussing whether or not they are in the right place on the continuum. They also show parents and students collaborating to write a comment on the blog posting below, giving details of their conversations and telling us what their goals are for the immediate future.

Here’s a nice photo of the parents enjoying the relaxing part of the morning, organized by these students:

Aayush, Paula, Paul, Anirudh, Odette, Ken, Gabi, May, Pimboon, Am and Samantha. Well done to them!!!

Is this art?

I’m interested in your opinion… is this art? Why? Why not? Explain your thinking and get the conversation going.

Need Help!

For the hydroponics I’m going to plant the small seedlings on thursday. I need your help to do this. I will appreciate if anyone comes and help. It will only take a few minutes and we won’t get wet. This crop will be Thai vegetables so it will grow quickier than salad so we can harvest on the last week of school.

Spot Check

For the spot check my mum came to see me present, she also brang a camera so after I presented I took some pictures. Here are some pictures from the spot check.

Today’s Snorkelling

Today I had a lot of fun snorkelling and exploring the islands. Here is some of the pictures of the trip. I didn’t take these pictures from the internet. The main highlight islands is Koh Yung which near the beach on the shallow waters there is many crabs, small fish, coral, shells, shrimps and sea slugs. Another place is called Hin Glang which is beetween the island Phi Phi Don and Koh Hong where I went snorkelling. I also took pictures of the GPS in the ship when we reached the islands.

Growing Hydroponics

For the next lot of hydroponics we need to grow and start the small seedlings.  There is the 10 day holiday break so I had to take it home and start growing it. Here are some pictures of it being grown.
