Managing a Google Meet session with 20 five year olds is not a task we were used to at the early stages of the Virtual School Experience.

My weekly ATK test at my workplace is negative again. Although I’m fully vaccinated (and have booked my booster shot), I’m still careful by wearing a mask and avoiding unventilated indoor public spaces. But life must go on, as much as we can, to help the local economy #Thailand

Starting the school year online

The #PhuketSandbox is going well so far. Local infections remain low and no imported Covid cases. I’m jealous of the photos the international travellers are posting. This is definitely the best time to visit while it’s not crowded. Hopefully I will be able to fly there in August.

If tiger’s could talk, what would they say to us?

The children are loving our “Save the Tiger” theme. So much learning going on!

And to think that both these students were reluctant speakers at the start of our Virtual School Experience.

Online Learning in the Early Years is not only about Phonics and Maths. Physical activities are just as important for a child’s development and well-being. The FS3 Team cheered on the children during our Primary Virtual Sports Week “Mens Sana in Corpore Sano” #education #Thailand

@Ajarncom I live with a teacher and for them, creating content personalized to the needs of the class, finding a good way to communicate, and deliver Zoom sessions with 20 kids is anything but a piece of cake. #Thailand #learning @PepaoD love the energy! And your loud sessions!
