FOBISSEA Games<br />
Our Primary FOBISSEA Games team is off to<br />
Bangkok soon. From May 7 to 11 they will be<br />
competing at St Stephen’s – and we wish them well.<br />
FOBISSEA is the Federation of British Schools in<br />
South East Asia (and East Asia), which currently<br />
consists of 38 schools – with plans to grow quite<br />
markedly over the next few years. Being a member<br />
of the federation gives our students many<br />
opportunities to participate in Games, Festivals (such as Music, Choral and Drama),<br />
Conferences (such as Community Service and Model United Nations) and also<br />
competitions (such as Short Story and Mathematics).<br />
You may be aware that in the past 12 months we have hosted both a Primary Games and<br />
a KS3 Drama Festival. Later this year we will be hosting the 2013 Music Festival and also<br />
facilitating a Community Service Project in Chiang Mai. There are also many benefits for<br />
our staff in terms of coordinated professional development and networking.<br />

Journeys<br />
We are continuing on our study on Journeys. We have travelled by submarine, hot air<br />
balloon, helicopter, sailing ship, airplane and have visited many countries such as the<br />
United Kingdom, India, Australia, Philippines and the USA. We have enhanced our<br />
classroom environment by making fish when we were underwater; having a throne for the<br />
Queen when we travelled to England; and having a fan with red and yellow streamers to<br />
look like a hot air balloon flame when we were flying up into the clouds. Using our number<br />
skills we have been comparing amounts when we have voted and paid money to buy our<br />
tickets when we boarded different vehicles.
