WIS-BN | Around the World in a Day

Wells Bang Na — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:15:46 +0000

�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.

Year of the Dragon

Wells Bang Na — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 02:37:45 +0000

The Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, was a time when families came together, shared meals, and participated in traditional ceremonies. �ۿ۴�ý Bangna Campus as a community celebrated the Lunar New Year with great performances, lion dancing, firecrackers, and a Chinese market this year.

Before the Lunar New Year, parents, students, and teachers dedicated much time to preparing performances and the Chinese market for this big celebration. Students practiced their dances and songs for our upcoming celebration of the Lunar New Year. Parents were also highly involved with stations’ activities in order that students were given chances to appreciate Chinese traditional cultures and got to have a deep understanding of Chinese traditions and cultures. On this day, we saw a beautiful picture of community as families and school were connecting closely to build a caring and inclusive experience for our children.

The station of Chinese calligraphy helped students have a better understanding of the Chinese characters and Chinese traditional culture during Chinese Lunar New Year. The Station of Touhu Game brought us so much fun while playing this traditional Chinese game. The Station of Chinese printing and traditional crafts presented us a real and precious Chinese tradition that students could explore and learn. One of students’ favorite stations was Chinese traditional snacks that Chinese parents brought from China. Students got chances to try and eat lots of Chinese traditional snacks.

The highlight of this celebration was the Lion dance and firecrackers! Every year, the high school students performed live percussion while the lion entertained the students and gobbled up oranges from their hands. This performance had great.

As the school year draws to a close, the K3 students, teachers, and parents celebrated an important milestone in the K3 students’ learning journey. This moment not only marked the end of their early childhood education but also serves as a stepping stone into the next phase of their academic lives.��

K3 graduation is a significant milestone for our early years learners, as it signifies the completion of their early childhood education. Our students have come a long way since their first day of school, and this event provided a platform to recognize their growth, accomplishments, and the friendships they cultivated along the way. It was a moment to celebrate the joy of learning and the foundation laid for their future endeavors.

The K3 students have cultivated a sense of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. They have developed a genuine interest in exploring the world around them and have learned to ask questions, seek answers, and think critically. They have showed that they are thinkers and principled by how well they danced, sang, and accepted their diplomas. They looked so dapper in their togas and graduation caps. The primary students gave the K3 graduates advice and the whole school sang them a song.��

As these young learners bid farewell to their early childhood education, they embark on a new chapter in their academic journey and they carry with them the qualities of inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and more, shaping them into well-rounded individuals prepared for the next phase of their academic journey. K3 graduation is not just an endpoint; it is a celebration of the beginning of a lifelong love for learning and a commitment to personal and academic growth.

Festival of Hope Inspires Wells Bang Na Students

Wells Bang Na — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 07:06:38 +0000

What is so important about hope? This was the question for Middle School and Primary Students from �ۿ۴�ý On Nut and Bang Na.��

On October 19th, the primary students in the Bang Na campus launched a “Festival of Hope” workshop and invited the middle school students from the On Nut campus to discuss this topic, an initiative taking place in the IB World School community. Hope is universal, it’s a concept that touches all of our lives and hearts, from young to older students. Starting a conversation around “hope”�� helped our students engage in activities across grade levels as well as campuses, getting to know new people and students from the school community. Our students spent the entire day discussing their perspectives on hope and its connection to their everyday lives at school and at home.��

During this event, students moved through a variety of activities that helped them consider how hope is grown and given. The students created artwork, poetry, music and songs that expressed their own hopes and aspirations. At one station, they wrote hopes for the school, the community and the world.��

Before the event ended, we reflected on our learning together. The students were invited to speak up during an open-mic discussion. Being the risk-takers that they are, the primary students spoke about how much they enjoyed learning alongside middle school students for the first time. The middle school students communicated beautifully about the importance of hope in their lives. Some students used symbolism and metaphors to express their understandings. All of our students mentioned how fun it was to work together.

Our hope for building a strong community was realized through this day together. The teachers’ hope of developing our students’ self awareness and emotional needs is an important part of this celebration,too. The Hope Festival will continue throughout the next semester, connecting Wells to other IB World Schools around the globe.��

Through this exchange, we could fully appreciate what a powerful tool hope really is. Hope can change our outlook, relationships and even impact our community.��
