]]> As part of our inquiry into the unit “Where We Are in Place and Time,” our students explored how different cultures are shaped by connections between people, comparing people from around the world, and various cultural expressions. To bring this learning to life, we recently hosted a special Show and Tell event where families shared traditional costumes and traditional snacks or dishes from their cultural heritage. Each class had its own table displaying these items, and students from the other classes were invited to explore the displays, ask questions, and learn about the significance of the items. This hands-on experience helped students deepen their understanding of cultural diversity and how traditions vary across the world. 

To make the event even more special, we collaborated with our Music Teacher to incorporate music from the cultures represented in our classes. Students listened to traditional songs and even danced together, experiencing the rhythm and joy of cultural celebrations. The Show and Tell event were a wonderful way to wrap up our unit, giving students the opportunity to connect with one another and share parts of their culture. We, the Homeroom Teachers of Nursery, K1A, and K1B, are thankful for the amazing participation from families and the chance for students to celebrate and learn from the diverse backgrounds of their classmates. I changed geography and traditions as cultural influences on the lines of inquiry.

]]> Wells Bang Na’s learners are global citizens who represent an array of cultures and nations. On February 24th, our campus held the International Festival 2023. This event marked the very first international day celebration since the global pandemic, which really brought families and teachers together in planning a fantastic event! This event was an excellent way to promote cultural awareness and understanding, as well as to build a sense of community among students.

The day began with a flag parade. Everyone gathered at the early years building and paraded down the lane. It was wonderful to see everyone waving their flags proudly. Next, our students and parents showed off their traditional styles during our catwalk of nations. There were cheers of excitement from the audience, showing strong support for each other.

Everyone was amazed at the beautiful performances put on by our students and parents. The early years students were energetic yet composed drummers and dancers. The older students performed John Lennon’s inspiring song “Imagine”. The Indian community shared various dances from different parts of their country. The Thai teacher’s assistants choreographed their own dance, too!

The country booths featured fun games, activities and crafts that helped everyone learn more about the nations represented in our school community. Lebanon, Myanmar, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Japan, India, France, and The Philippines were set up as destinations for the students to visit. 

Lastly, the food festival provided yummy treats and a festive atmosphere for everyone to connect. Overall, the International Festival was a fantastic way to promote cultural understanding, celebrate diversity, and build a sense of community within the school.
