Loy Krathong at the Regent’s
Students
from The Regent’s School presenting “Rum Ma No Paa”, one of several
dances performed during the recent Loy Krathong celebrations. It was a day
full of special activities, beginning with a programme for younger students
in the morning, upper Primary during the afternoon, and secondary students
enjoyed an evening event. Loy Krathong is one of the most colourful events
on the school calendar and students and staff looked absolutely wonderful in
an array of gorgeous costumes. (Photo by Marcus Way)
St Andrews vs I.S.E.
By the boys of
St Andrews Key Stage 3
Recently St Andrews played a football match against I.S.E.
The match was played for 40 minutes, 20 minutes each way. St Andrews wore
their new football kit of blue shirts, red shorts and white socks. I.S.E
wore their familiar kit of all white.

soccer lads from St Andrews and ISE look resplendent in their game uniforms.
The two teams played to a tough but fin 2-2 draw.
Everybody tried their best to score for their team. Marco
scored the first goal for St Andrews. Seven minutes later, I.S.E equalized.
The score was 1-1 at half time.
In the second half, Jesse scored the second goal for St
Andrews. Just before the final whistle I.S.E equalized making the final
score 2-2. St Andrews were unlucky to draw.
Each team played well together, and both teams clearly wanted to win.
Everybody was in high spirits and the pupils of St Andrews had supported
their team with great enthusiasm. St Andrews International School will have
another football match soon and welcome any challenges!

faculty, and Institute of Sea Studies, science faculty of Burapha
University, and Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) recently organized the
2nd Eastern Region Drawing Contest. The challenge was open for school
children of 2 groups, primary and secondary levels. The event encouraged
students to artistically convey their love of nature in drawings and
paintings.
Many
schoolchildren answered the call to ‘Return the sea with a touch of color
from your hearts’.
Everything
has to be just right...
The participants were advised to express their ideas
regarding the protection of the marine environment under the slogan
‘Return the sea with a touch of color from your hearts’. The children
were also asked to name their paintings.
The event included the finer aspects of watercolor
painting techniques demonstrated by Khon Laen See Club.

members of the Chonburi Education Institute.
The best pieces of art will be displayed at the promotion ground of
Central Festival Center Pattaya.
Cooking up a Storm
During Term One the Kindergarten and
Reception children of St Andrews International School have been busy with
their weekly cooking lessons. They have been learning to follow a recipe to
make lots of yummy treats, from traditional Thai desserts to jam tarts and
strawberry milkshakes. The children have had a wonderful time measuring and
mixing, sifting and stirring, kneading and rolling, and of course eating and
drinking! With all this new knowledge, there’s bound to be an abundance of
help in mummy’s kitchen from now on, so keep an eye out for our “Chefs
of the Future”. Don’t forget to try the jam tart recipe-they are
delicious!
Cedric
and Craig are making perfect pastry!
Mark’s
a whiz at making jelly.
Jam Tarts
Ingredients (makes about 15)
400 g butter
800 g flour
a little water
Jam ... we used strawberry and blueberry
Put the butter and flour in a bowl and mix them together with your
fingers until the mixture looks crumbly. Add a little water and make the
mixture into a ball with your hands. Put it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Remove. Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and flour your rolling pin.
Roll the pastry out and cut circles with a cutter. Make a small “edge”
on each circle by bringing up the sides with your fingers and fill the space
with a little jam. Cook at 180 for 10 to 15 minutes.
Mary, “Queen of
Hearts”, gets ready to make her jam tarts.
The Regent’s “Wish you a Merry Christmas”
The Regent’s School annual Christmas Concert finished
on a rousing note as the combined choirs, orchestra and audience sang “We
wish you a Merry Christmas”! It was the grand finale to a wonderful night
during which a huge range of music was presented, reflecting the breadth and
depth of the Regent’s music programme.
Adding
to the night’s enjoyment was an exhibition of work prepared by students in
Art, and Design & Technology. Parents and guests marvelled at the
creativity and painstaking attention to detail needed to create such
wonderful pieces.
Tim
Wongnimmarn played a flute duet with Liisa Toompuu.
It was a delight to see the younger students on stage and
note the growing confidence of both the Junior Strings group and the Junior
Choir. Year 4’s “Flash” wowed the audience with its excellent lighting
effects! “Golden Wolves” by Year 6 showcased the results of more
experimental work carried out in class. The Samba Band made its debut and
had everyone swinging with “Samba, Samba” - a lively number featuring
some tricky dance moves by band members and some excellent “whistle” by
Mr Goffee!
The lively numbers continued with “Celebration” - a
highly successful collaboration by the Jazz Band, Senior Choir and energetic
front man, Nipper Wentworth (great moves Nipper!). The ensemble pieces also
included the big sound of the Concert Band and the more traditional strains
of the Senior String Orchestra.
A change of pace was provided with accomplished
presentations by secondary students including Liisa Toompuu and Tim
Wongnimmarn with a flute duet, and Merle Laur (flute) and Egle Pedak (piano)
playing some Vivaldi. Jenny Kim and Natalie Vu gave the audience an
indication of the scope of work required for GCSE examinations by performing
their own compositions for piano and flute. And to remind us of the festive
season Nikita Malhotra read the timely tale of “The boy who laughed at
Santa Claus”.

interval, parents and guests marvelled at the creativity and painstaking

gorgeous textiles and models.
The finale was a fitting end to a wonderful concert and a
huge well done and thank you to everyone involved - particularly the
Regent’s Head of Music, Mr Mark Bradshaw and his team.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
St Andrews KS3 splat each other with paintballs
by KS3
On Tuesday 12th November, KS3 students had an enjoyable
night out at Paintball World, Jomtien Beach. We all got changed into our
protective gear, which was an army outfit, bandanas, camouflage paint and a
safety mask. We were given a safety briefing and we chose our teams (boys
vs. girls).
Lean,
mean fighting machines, the boys defeated the girls at paintball.
We went out to the outdoor paintball field and got ready
to play. We were given the guns and were told how to use them. The object of
the game was for each to try and retrieve the flag from the center of the
field and bring it back to our base camp.
The boys were the winners of both games and the girls had
been shot, a lot! After that we agreed that it should be called
‘painball’ rather than paintball.
Anyway, we all agreed that it was one of our best nights
out ever, and we are really looking forward to doing it again!
The
girls who could keep a straight face looked pretty “fightin’ ready”
too.
A very special thanks to Miss Crawley and Mr. Nightingale for organizing
such a wonderful event. And we would like to thank everyone at Paintball
World for such a warm welcome. If you would like further details about
Paintball, contact Paintball World at telephone number 038 232 796.
