Germs

Udon Thani International School

An IB World School

School Vision

Udon Thani International School (UDIS) inspires internationally-minded, balanced learners who thrive and become active, global citizens.

If you or a member of your family have recently returned from a high-risk country you should quarantine for 14 days. Children should quarantine even if they were not the ones who left the country. Please inform school of the date of your return to Thailand so that we can confirm the students return to school date.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, no parents will be allowed onto site. Teachers will collect EY students from the main gate in the morning and deliver them to parents at the end of the day. 
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding at this time.

UOI Reflection
This week the children have been exploring germs, what they are, where they come from and how we can protect ourselves from them. We have been developing our communication, self-management and thinking skills. 

Maths

This week - children have been practising their student-led conference activity, recognising, naming and matching numbers 1-5
Next week - children will continue to practice their student-led conference activity and we will recap our learning on shapes and colours

Phonics

This week - the children have continued to explore loud and quiet. We learnt what each word means and explored different ways we could make loud noises or quiet noises by using different instruments.

Next week - We will be learning to add sounds to stories and learning about the sounds nocturnal animals make 

Literacy

Next week - We will explore the book Owl Babies and consider how the characters feel.

Next week - we will begin to learn the letter ฌ เฌอ (ต้นไม้)
