�ۿ۴�ý Bang Na hosted a vibrant and educational event called “Around the World in a Day.” The primary building was transformed into a global adventure, where each class represented a different country. Students and teachers worked together to create unique stations that allowed other classes to explore diverse cultures, traditions, and cuisines. Kindergarten 3B introduced Korea, while Kindergarten 3A showcased Japan. Grade 1 presented Myanmar, Grade 2 shared the colorful culture of Mexico, Grade 3 brought Turkey to life, and Grade 4 delved into Egypt’s rich history. Meanwhile, Grade 5 immersed students in the world of Madagascar. Each station not only featured fun facts and cultural displays but also offered a chance to taste food from these countries or play some games, creating an interactive and flavorful experience for all.

In the Early Years building, the excitement continued with regional-themed activities. The classrooms were divided into different regions of the world, each offering hands-on activities that allowed the younger students to explore the world in a fun and educational way. The Arctic station, filled with sensory play using ice, captivated the children, while the Pacific Islands station invited them to make their own flower necklaces. For a taste of the Wild West, students enjoyed a scavenger hunt and sensory play with sand. In the Arabian Deserts area, children practiced writing Arabic words, and in the Jungle station, they got creative by making their own animal masks. These engaging stations helped the little ones connect with diverse regions through play and learning.

To conclude the day’s global journey, a special performance brought the celebration to life. Each class had a chance to perform something representative of the countries they explored, from songs to dances. Nursery delighted with a Texas Hold’em Kidz Bop performance, while K1 and K2 shared the heartfelt “Everyone Deserves a Home.” The older students continued the tradition with a mix of songs and speeches, including Grade 3’s “A Million Dreams” and Grade 4 & 5’s speeches about their experience being students at an international school. Though the performances were brief, they perfectly showcased the international spirit of the day, making “Around the World in a Day” a memorable event at �ۿ۴�ý Bang Na.

WIS-BN | A Journey Through Time: K3’s Field Trip to the Bangkokian Museum

Wells Bang Na — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 02:19:14 +0000

Last Friday, our K3 students took a trip back in time with a visit to the Bangkokian Museum. The Puffins and the Rollers had been looking forward to this adventure for weeks, making it an exciting way to wrap up our fourth unit of inquiry on how environments shape communities and culture.

The museum is divided into three sections, each offering a glimpse into the past. The main house, built in 1937, was packed with ‘ancient’ household items and technology. The old television was a huge hit—the children’s reactions (and their jokes about our age!) had us laughing. Another section displayed vintage toys, old coins, and stories about the Bang Rak district, helping the children connect history to their own experiences.

The final part of the museum showcased the personal collection of an Indian doctor who once lived in the house. His old room, along with an interesting display of antique medical tools, gave the children a peek into what life was like for a doctor in the past. They were especially curious about the old-fashioned equipment, comparing it to what they’ve seen in modern clinics.

After all that exploring, we took a well-earned break in the museum’s beautiful garden. The real highlight? Meeting the fish and a turtle, which quickly became the center of attention! The kids loved watching and chatting about them, proving once again that sometimes the simplest moments are the most memorable.

We returned to school buzzing with excitement and plenty to talk about. This field trip wasn’t just fun—it was a hands-on way to bring our learning to life, leaving us with new discoveries, laughter, and a great way to close our unit.
