Soi 20 Summer School: Fostering Holistic Learning, Creativity, and Connection

At our Summer School, our young learners are welcomed into a warm and supportive environment where they feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. Each day is filled with opportunities to build confidence, develop key skills, and grow in their understanding of the world around them. It’s a place where children feel they belong—growing into curious, capable learners ready for whatever comes next.

Communication & Literacy

Students in Year 1 strengthen their oral communication skills by practising public speaking and sharing personal narratives with clarity and confidence. Across all levels, literacy learning is enhanced through meaningful interactions with stories such as Room on the Broom and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, complemented by creative responses including art, puppetry, and sequencing tasks that build comprehension and expressive language. Early learners develop phonological awareness and emotional understanding through engaging play-based activities that encourage personal expression and social interaction.

Mathematics & Numeracy

Mathematical thinking is cultivated through purposeful play with dominoes, dice subitising, and word search activities that develop number recognition, counting, and additive strategies. Year 1 students extend their spatial reasoning and problem-solving by constructing three-dimensional shape towns, connecting mathematical concepts to real-world contexts.

Science Inquiry & Exploration

Students investigate natural phenomena through guided inquiry, producing galaxy-inspired artworks and experimenting with moon craters to understand Earth and space concepts. Hands-on water play invites Kindergarten learners to observe and describe properties such as sinking and floating, fostering scientific curiosity and observational skills.

Creative Arts & Sensory Learning

Children explore the expressive arts through sculpting natural forms like clay cactuses and beetles, creating symmetrical butterfly paintings, and designing three-dimensional campsite models. Sensory-rich experiences, such as decorating maps with coffee and tea, enrich their understanding of place and environment. Younger learners engage in tactile art and sensory play, supporting fine motor skills and sensory exploration.

Physical Development & Wellbeing

The programme promotes physical confidence and coordination through structured obstacle courses, sports circuits, and cooperative team relays. Swimming lessons further enhance students’ personal safety and physical wellbeing, contributing to their holistic development.

Cultural Learning & Language

Cultural awareness is deepened as students prepare traditional Thai dessert Kluay Buat Chee, engaging with local ingredients and culinary traditions. Language learning includes the study of Thai vowels, consonants, shapes, and vocabulary through interactive games, songs, and crafts. Movement and dance activities support cultural expression and physical literacy.

Social Learning & Collaborative Play

Through traditional games such as Sanka, students practise turn-taking, patience, and fair play, while drama, mask-making, and cooperative projects nurture creativity, empathy, and teamwork.

Celebratory Learning: Fun Friday

The summer school experience culminates with Fun Friday, a day dedicated to collaborative creativity through activities like boat-building, imaginative dress-ups, and splash pool experiments. This day exemplifies inquiry-based learning and social connection, celebrating students’ curiosity and collaborative spirit.

The summer experience inspires each child to reach their full potential through meaningful and enriching learning opportunities.
