Hello, Pim, Fay and Grace!
Welcome to Singapore, Endeavour Primary School!
We are very glad to play host to our friends from Thailand!
They will be attending lessons with us for a week.
Today, at the school assembly, the Thai pupils performed their cultural songs and dances.
It was wonderful!
We enjoyed the song - Loi Krathong.
