Dragons' Den

Children presented their fairground rides to the "Dragons' Den" this morning and showed that their speaking skills are getting better and better. The presentations were brilliant and of a high standard. The children spoke clearly and confidently. They definitely gave the Dragons a hard time to choose a ride for investment.

Well done all! 


 


Community Art Project - Exhibition 12th December 2013 at TX



This week the Year 6 pupils, along with their community partner school, Poussieres de Vie, created a fantastic exhibition of their art work in the foyer. The project has been based around traditional Vietnamese art styles; the children working on a range of pieces which looked fantastic on display. The TX children have worked and mixed very well with the children from Poussieres de Vie over the course of the project and can be very proud of the fact that sales of merchandise will buy educational resources for their community partners. Enthusiastically selling badges, cards and stickers, along with the pieces of art themselves, the amount raised far exceeded expectations. Obviously many of them have a bright future in sales! Thanks must go to Ms Charlie for her creativity as well as Ms Hong Anh, Ms Duyen and Ms Claire for their hard work in making this such a great event.

Community Art Project

Exhibition 12th December 2013 at TX

This term the Year 6 pupils have been very busy with their community partner school, Poussieres de Vie; working hard on an Art project under the skillful guidance of Ms Charlie. The project has been based around traditional Vietnamese art styles and has seen the children work enthusiastically to produce some excellent pieces. As this project draws to a close, the work that the children have completed is to be displayed in the foyer at TX on Thursday 12th December from 7:30am until 2:00pm. Each class will get the opportunity to visit the exhibition throughout the day, where Year 6 children will guide visitors around and explain the methods used. Parents will be able to visit the exhibition when they are in school from 7:30 onwards.


The children have thoroughly enjoyed working with their community partners and can be very proud, not only of the work they have produced, but also how well they have worked and mixed with the children from Poussieres de Vie. Aside from meeting new friends and developing their art skills, the very serious aim to the project was to raise funds to buy art resources for the Poussieres de Vie children. In order to do this, at the exhibition there will be the chance for children and parents to buy postcards, stickers and greetings cards produced from the children’s art work, as well as the once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the original art works themselves, at incredibly reasonable prices. All the items would make fantastic Christmas presents for lucky family members and friends.

 
In order to purchase from the exhibition, children need to buy tokens from the Year 6 children in the foyer before school next week in the build-up to Thursday’s exhibition. These can then be ‘spent’ when the children visit the exhibition. The cheapest items will be sold for 10000vnd with other items costing 20000 and 30000vnd. It should be remembered that the sale is to make money for our community partners not TX. The Year 6 children thank you for your support.

Well done to our newest Yellow Ribbon winners!





 

Congratulations Hung! Star of the Week!
