Extra Curricular Phonics classes (2016)

Dear EP1 Purple parents and guardians,

As of  Monday the 30th of May, teacher Erin and teacher Chaz will be teaching after school phonics classes here at Varee Chiangmai School.

Varee Chiangmai School

The classes will be held in EP1 Red and EP1 purple from 4pm to 4:40pm, Monday through to Thursday.

The aim of these classes is to go over basic phonics with those pupils who would benefit from it and to also teach phonics to those pupils, who are as yet unfamiliar to it.

These extra lessons are free and will go on for approximately 6 weeks however, this duration may be extended depending on the rate at which the pupils are learning.

All of the EP1 teachers have made an informed decision as to which pupils truly requirethe extra sessions.


Selected pupils from all of the ep1 classes have already taken home a permission letter which, must be signed and returned by next Monday the 30th of May.

These extra curricular lessons have been extremely successful every year and it is humbly advised that all of the chosen pupils are made to attend, by you, very regularly.

The children will not require any extra materials, however a whiteboard marker and a whiteboard rubber/eraser would be extremely helpful to their learning.

If there are any changes to the scheduled classes than we will inform parents and guardians immediately.

Kind regards……Teacher Tara.

New EP 1 Purple homeroom teacher

Hello, Welcome to EP1 Purple’s Blog.

My name is Tara. I am the new EP1 Purple homeroom teacher.

I have 4 years of teaching experience with children aged 2 – 8 and have developed an energetic, creative and fun teaching style. I love working with kids, I love inspiring learning and I love the results. There’s no better feeling than seeing my students developing and smiling. My biggest goal as a teacher is to help shy children lacking self-confidence, become more confident, outgoing and happy people.

 I am very excited for the term to begin and looking forward to getting to know and teach your sons and daughters!

I moved to Chiang Mai at the beginning of April and I am very happy to be living and working here. Before moving to Chiang Mai I was living and teaching in Bangkok for 4 years.

If you have any questions or issues during the year please feel free to contact me. My email address is taraC@varee.ac.th

I look forward to meeting you all throughout the year.

Thank you,
Teacher Tara
