Both Hrithi and Seung Eun created a story book to share with the Wells Bang Na campus and their younger peer learners. This gave an opportunity for intergenerational learning, and empowered these IB DP candidates and Wells graduates (#Class of 2021) to not only share their messages, but also learn and be inspired by the questions and work of these future Wells graduates and current IB Primary Years Program (IB PYP) students.聽

On the last day as seniors, Friday May 21, 2021, the IB DP class of 2021 graduate Hrithi joined Wells Bang Na Campus Grades 3, 4 and 5 to share the story book she wrote and designed followed by a Q&A session.聽

The Q&A session that followed gave an opportunity for the IB Primary Year students to ask their questions. Not only that, but since this was their first time making story books it was helpful that the younger students could give feedback on how the storybook might be improved. This feedback was insightful and showed the critical thinking and evaluation skills developing in these early learners!聽

Seung Eun鈥檚 story book was drawn by hand, and . She wrote and drew two chapters of a book that follows a girl and her stuffed animal through two journeys. We are excited to see where this character鈥檚 next adventure will be, and what important environmental issues we will learn about along the way!聽

The 22nd of April is celebrated as Earth Day across the world. 扣扣传媒 students took up various initiatives throughout the week of April 23-27 to make their contemporaries aware of the current environmental concerns. In continuation with our 鈥楨very Action Counts鈥� campaign (See the recent feature in the to learn more), school wide activities were conducted that aimed at promoting a sustainable future.

The Grade 12 ESS students conducted drives to make students realize the significance of trash sorting. They designated the week as 鈥渘o plastic week鈥�, to counter the menace of disposable plastic. They also held engaging seminars to educate the primary and middle school students with regard to the significance of these actions.

Middle school science students made beautiful crafts using recycled materials. These artifacts were displayed at various locations around school, inspiring all the other students to tap their creative streaks. Also, the students who had the maximum number of posts on social media, related to their eco friendly endeavours, were awarded certificates of appreciation. Their posts can be found on instagram with #everyactioncounts6A, #everyactioncounts6B, #everyactioncounts7A, #everyactioncounts7B. Do take a look!

Many other initiatives were undertaken at different grade levels. Grade 11 Chemistry students designed applications to test ozone levels in the air, Grade 10 Physics students calculated energy in use in classrooms, Grade 10 environmental science students created videos and hosted 鈥渁wareness booths鈥� during snack and lunch breaks, while sixth and eighth graders participated in the 鈥淕ift a plant鈥� activity and continued their ongoing project, Wells World Without Waste.

The idea behind this initiative is not just to 聽raise awareness, but also to implement these little changes in our everyday lives. These are small yet significant steps towards a cleaner, greener and healthier tomorrow. #EveryActionCounts
