St. Andrews Samakee International School

🌍✨ Year 5 Assembly ✨🌍

Year 5 took us on an unforgettable journey through time in their fantastic class assembly. From ancient Pompeii and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to the wonders of space, caves, and powerful moments from World War II, students confidently showcased their learning through drama, storytelling, music, and performance.

The assembly ended with an inspiring message about sustainability and how we can all help protect our planet. 🌱

We are so proud of their hard work, confidence, and outstanding performance! ⭐👏

Our Year 8 scientists explored the reactivity of metals through a hands-on practical investigation, reacting different metal samples with acid to compare their relative reactivity and construct their own reactivity series. Students then carried out the classic “pop” test with a lit splint to confirm that hydrogen gas had been produced. Activities such as these help students develop scientific thinking, practical laboratory skills, and confidence in applying their learning through real experimental work.

One of our young learners explored a creative “matcha tea” experiment using leaves and water from the outdoor area. Through mixing, crushing, and stirring, they developed problem-solving, scientific thinking, and fine motor skills while sharing their ideas with others. 🌿

A fantastic example of curiosity and active learning in action! 🌟

🌏✨ Learning with Purpose in Upper School ✨🌏

In Year 9, students explored important Thai figures recognised by UNESCO, helping them develop pride in Thai heritage and understand the importance of contributing positively to society.

Meanwhile, Year 6 students researched environmental conservation and energy saving, raising awareness about the importance of working together to protect our world for the future. 🌱

A wonderful example of learning that inspires global awareness, responsibility, and positive action. 🌟

🌿✨ Thank You for Joining Our Emotional Intelligence Workshop ✨🌿

This morning, we were delighted to welcome parents to our workshop, Emotional Intelligence Blueprint: เลี้ยงลูกให้ฉลาดทางอารมณ์เริ่มต้นที่พ่อแม่, led by Dr. Jom.

Together, we explored how children learn emotional regulation through the example of adults around them, the importance of understanding our own emotions, and ways to create calm, compassionate connections at home.

A special thank you to Dr. Jom for sharing such valuable insights and practical strategies with our parent community. We also extend our sincere thanks to all the parents who joined us and contributed to this thoughtful and meaningful session. 💚
