The Primary School Library explored Haiku poems as part of the National Poetry Day celebrations … “Design a Poster” winners receive certificates … and the Books of the Week.
We enjoyed celebrating National Poetry Day this week by looking at a selection of the poetry books which we have on our shelves and by practising writing our own Haiku poems. Haiku is a Japanese style of poetry which uses only 3 lines of text. The first line has 5 syllables, the second 7 and the last 5. They rarely rhyme.
Our ‘Design a Poster’ competition winners were presented with Certificates of Achievement AND a Kinokuniya book token by Ms Diane, Mr Geoff and Ms Kerry in the library. Here they are with their winning entries and HUGE thanks to Ms Diane and Mr Geoff for coming to help make the presentations...
Here are this week’s Books of the Week. We hope you enjoy them:
Khun Toi couldn’t wait to excitedly open this box as soon as it was delivered this week to remind ourselves of all the lovely new books which we chose a couple of weeks ago using our commission from June’s St Andrews International School Bangkok Book Fair. We will be getting them up on the shelves as quickly as possible so keep an eye out for them on the ‘New Arrivals’ bookcase and we will also be featuring them in our upcoming ‘Books of the Week’.
At St Andrews Bangkok, we believe that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and included both inside and outside the classroom. That’s why we are incredibly proud to introduce the Friendship Benches project, an initiative designed to foster connection, kindness, and community spirit across the school.
From 25th May to 27th May, St Andrews International School Bangkok proudly hosted the 2025 Nord Anglia SEA STEAM Festival. Students from across Southeast Asia came together for three inspiring days of creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving. This year’s big question: “How can we reduce or repurpose school waste to create a lasting impact in our communities and environment?”
From cultural celebrations and hands-on STEAM challenges to expert talks and a final showcase of student-led projects, the festival was a true celebration of innovation and sustainability.
NAE Global Campus received a staggering 3,300 entries from 66 Nord Anglia schools all around the world, and one student from STA shone bright, winning Best in Show in the Art Music category: a big congratulations to Freya in Year 8 for her truly outstanding achievement and stellar performance!
