Our field trip to Sea Life Bangkok proved to be an enriching experience for the K2 students of Wells Bangna. Aligned with their Unit of Inquiry, How the World Works, and focusing on animal classification and the workings of the natural world, the trip provided a tangible connection to their classroom learning.

Encountering all five animal groups—mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish—during the visit was a highlight for the students. Witnessing these creatures firsthand brought their learning experiences to life and ignited their enthusiasm.

The students explored the diverse marine life on display, from playful otters to majestic stingrays. The trip not only broadened their understanding of the natural world but also instilled in them a sense of wonder and appreciation for marine life.

The K2 students of Wells Bangna left with hearts full of memories and minds brimming with newfound knowledge. While their journey may have ended, the lessons learned and the connections made will continue to inspire them long after they return to the classroom.

The International Baccalaureate, Primary Years Program, encourages students and teachers to make connections to real world contexts, strengthening learning and understanding. This supports the inquiry process, and allows students to “go further”, fostering a greater understanding of the world around them.

In the current unit, students have explored the transdisciplinary theme “How we organize ourselves”, which is an inquiry into the interconnectedness of human-made systems. The central or main idea for Grade 2 is “Money is a system that gives value to goods and services”. Under this central idea we have explored lines of inquiry into banks, money, spending, saving, budgets, being responsible with money and concepts such as demand and supply. As part of each unit, students are encouraged to take action and will do that by raising money for charity through the organization of a big event at the culmination of the unit.

On their field trip to the Royal Thai Mint, the children learned all about the coin creation process, starting from initial sketches to the final coin press. While we were at the Royal Thai Mint, students put the staff through their paces with their challenging inquiries. An example of which was “how do they go from a large design to a print on a small coin?” The answer is truly fascinating indeed.

The benefits of this captivating field trip were extensive, leaving the children full of newfound knowledge and anticipation for the adventures that await in their next unit of inquiry.

Welcoming the Year of the Dragon: Wells Thong Lo Campus Celebrates 2024 Lunar New Year!

At Wells Thong Lo Campus, the spirit of celebration and cultural appreciation was in full swing as we welcomed the auspicious Year of the Dragon during the 2024 Lunar New Year festivities. It was a joyous occasion marked by vibrant performances, traditional dances, and cherished moments shared among students, parents, and teachers.
The event commenced with mesmerizing performances by our Mandarin class students, who captivated the audience with their talent and dedication. The graceful fan dance presented by our lovely parents and their dance teacher added an elegant touch to the celebrations, filling the air with beauty and grace.
However, the true highlight of the day was the eagerly anticipated lion dance, a symbol of prosperity, good luck, and protection. Students were filled with excitement as they eagerly fed oranges to the lion, a traditional gesture believed to bring blessings and fortune in the new year.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our Grade 2 students for their exemplary hosting skills, as they eloquently shared the traditions of Chinese New Year in both Mandarin and English translations. Their efforts not only educated but also enriched the entire community, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
As the festivities continued, students immersed themselves in a variety of dog-themed games, embracing the symbolism of the zodiac animal for the year. Laughter and joy filled the air as friendships were forged and memories were made, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all.
May the Year of the Dragon bring prosperity, happiness, and success to each and every one of you.
Happy Chinese New Year, and we eagerly await the return of our students after the break, ready to embark on new adventures and discoveries together.

Happy Loy Krathong Day! The spirit of this vibrant festival came alive at ۿ۴ý as our students adorned themselves in traditional Thai attire, embracing the rich cultural heritage of one of Thailand’s grandest celebrations.
The festivities kicked off with a heartfelt speech about Loy Krathong delivered by our insightful Grade 1 students.

Following this, our talented students graced the stage with a captivating Loy Krathong dance performance, drawing everyone into the beauty of this traditional Thai festival. The joy was contagious, and soon, students and staff joined in, dancing together in unison, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
But the celebration didn’t stop there. Various stations were set up to engage everyone in the richness of Loy Krathong traditions. Students had the opportunity to learn the intricate art of crafting Krathong from lotus leaves, a hands-on experience that connected them to the cultural roots of the festival.
A special note of gratitude goes out to all the parents who actively participated, contributing to the success of this special occasion. Your involvement made Loy Krathong Day at ۿ۴ý a truly memorable and enriching experience for everyone.
