Singapore Genius School Krabi will start our After School Program (ASP) on the 14th October. Our first ASP will be Badminton on every Monday. Start’s at 4.15 to 5.15pm. We will will train and play at PK Stadium. The school will provide transport to the stadium and back. The school has equipment so parent do not need to buy them. Students keen on this activity are encourage to sign up. Cost is pegged at 600 Baht per month. This badminton ASP is over and above the school sports activities during the school. This is not compulsory, and only for those who want to enjoy the sports more. For the month of October, ASP is free.
Please encourage your kids to do homework, then the school will be a more fun place for the kids. Homework is an important aspect of the curriculum and of learning thoroughly at Singapore Genius School Krabi. The homework schedule is intended to provide a structured framework that will support pupils in their development of well-organized work and study habits too.
Your child’s Homeroom teacher will share with you when homework is ‘handed out’ and when it is supposed to be completed by. All this is available in their Journal.
Likewise every child should at least make an attempt to complete the homework. As a parent it is necessary for you to take some time and oversee your child’s homework. The homework is there to consolidate what has been learnt in class and more; therefore, it is not necessary for you to teach the content to your child. If your child cannot complete the homework for whatever reason, please send a small message to your Homeroom teacher to inform him/her about why the child could not complete the homework. The homework is there to consolidate what has been learnt in class; therefore, it is not necessary for you to teach the content to your child.
Similarly research suggests that with younger children homework is most effective when it links directly to their lessons in school. Furthermore research also suggests that too much homework has little effect on learning outcomes. In actual fact it can have a negative effect. We try to have a healthy balance!
Geography (lower)
Students were introduced to 2 themes of Geography to learn why it is important to study geography. They learned about place and location and what types of physical and human characteristics are studied. Everyone can be a mini Geographer and everyone has a mental map of places they frequent most. Students enjoyed using their mental map of their homes to bring it to life on paper.
Geography (upper)
Students were introduced to all 5 themes of Geography to learn why it is important to study Geography. They learned about place, location, region, human-environment interaction and movement. It is important to understand where we started in the world to how the world is now. They had fun pulling up the mental map of their homes and applying that to paper.
Science Experiments
The students were thought about the Sundial, the first clock. It tells the time by the 
position of shadow it casts when the sun shines. The Sundial was invented nearly 3000 years ago. We used recycled items to construct our Sundial. For the sun we used a lamp shade and for the cardboard we used the empty box of the A4 paper.
Star of the Week and Chess Champion
Its impressive that the kids are improving their game and yet they were unable to unseat our reigning champion Gerrit. Gerrit was clinging tightly to the title and all the students are having a go at his title.
We did not award anyone with the Star of the Week as the school felt that there was more the students could have done. The Star of the Week is a highly respected and sought after award. The students need to understand that to get this award they have to earn it.
