The first part of our community helper day was to make connections with our school community. The students wanted to know how they could help. Our students worked together and held a community car wash day. It was a fun learning experience for our young learners, as they were able to make a tangible contribution to our school community, connect with the understanding of our unit, and learn practical skills.聽

The second part was a role-play activity where our students explored different roles members of the society play. They showed interest in several community roles, prompting these scenarios in our classroom setting. The students showed wonderful understanding about how communities are networks that need to work together in order to function well.

This experience was a valuable opportunity for our K2 students to understand this importance of community, whilst fostering creativity, social skills, and cooperation. It allowed them to explore community roles through hands-on experiences and play, making the concept come alive. By participating in this activity, students gained a deeper appreciation for those who serve their community and the importance of working together for the greater good.

In these past few weeks, our students have not only adjusted to their new classes but have also formed meaningful connections with their peers and teachers. These connections are the heart and soul of our school community, fostering an environment of support and friendship. During the first few weeks of school, our students created 鈥淓ssential Agreements鈥� which serve to establish a set of expectations for everyone in the class and school. During our primary assembly, the older students helped guide their younger peers through a discussion about our needs and responsibilities. The students also shared how teachers and staff can make our school even better for them this year. Some ideas they shared include making space for soccer, giving students more time to eat snacks and lunch. Others mentioned the books they want for the library. This feedback is valuable and helps us grow as a collaborative community.聽

We extend our appreciation to all the parents who joined our Parent Orientation on campus. Parent involvement has helped shape Wells Bang Na in many positive ways, affirming the work of teachers and encouraging our students to share their learning and progress with their family members. During our 鈥渕eet the teacher鈥� time, some classes has student-led presentations, allowing our primary students to give the typical back to school information directly to their parents. In Grade 4, the students explained our SEL program to parents. In Grade 5, they expressed their growth and goals for the upcoming year. The kindergarten students were simply overjoyed to see parents and grandparents in their classrooms!

As our journey of learning continues to unfold, we will continue to make home connections a significant part of our school culture.聽

Our young students’ excitement at joining the institute was palpable from the minute they arrived. They were quickly drawn in by the cutting-edge technology and extensive collection of musical instruments.

Expert professors led their students on an exciting journey through the development of music production technology. They were educated about the pioneers who introduced radical changes to the field via developments like electronic instruments and digital recording methods. Understanding the significance of engineering in music was greatly aided by this historical context.

Software synthesizers, samplers, and sequencers impressed them because of how they demonstrated the potential of technology to shape and manipulate sounds in interesting ways. Seeing these skills in action ignited their creativity and showed them the vast potential of technology for expressing themselves musically.

Our students experienced the difficulties and triumphs of music engineering firsthand via a series of hands-on exercises. They experimented with manipulating sounds and learned to make tunes with emotional overtones. They learned the ins and outs of mixing and mastering, the process of fine-tuning and improving a song’s individual components. These hands-on experiences improved their understanding of the intricate processes involved in music creation.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to everyone at the Institute of Music Science and Engineering who made our tour so enjoyable and productive. Their daylong devotion to teaching and encouraging young people to pursue careers in music production was inspiring. Without a doubt, the event has sparked a fire in our students and given them the confidence to embrace technology as a method of defining the future of music.

Our second graders returned to 扣扣传媒 having gained a deeper understanding of the synergy between music and modern technologies. They feel empowered to pursue their passion for music engineering now that they have the tools to do so.

During their Better World Fair, the Grade 2 students showcased their inventions to their families, friends, and fellow students. The fair was a celebration of their learning and a demonstration of their compassion for the communities around them. Each group presented models and diagrams of their creations, AI-generated images that they made in ICT, and information on the budget required.

The inventions presented by the students were diverse and addressed various sustainable development goals. For instance, some students created underwater drones to help monitor sea life, while others invented medicine dispensing robots, composting machines, or water purification tablets. Their inventions not only showed creativity and inventiveness but also reflected their empathy for the world around them.

Furthermore, the Grade 2 students chose to make a difference beyond their fair by collecting donations and raising money for the Save Elephant Foundation in Chiang Mai. Their compassion for wildlife and the environment is a testament to the impact that education can have on creating global citizens who are socially responsible and conscious.

At Wells Bang Na, we are proud of our Grade 2 students’ inventiveness, compassion, and commitment to making the world a better place. They have shown that even the smallest actions can make a difference, and we hope that their inventions inspire others to think creatively and work towards a sustainable future.

To open the celebrations, the teachers and students paraded down the street together led by teacher drummers. Performances by our students showed their appreciation for Thai music and culture. Seeing the students enjoy the music and dancing was the best aspect of the show. Wells Bang Na student鈥檚 are becoming confident performers and one of our Grade 3 students decided to MC parts of the show.聽

One of the highlights this year was the tug-o-war game played between parents and students. The parents usually win, but this year, to everyone鈥檚 surprise, the teachers had the upper hand. Since the students were cheering so passionately for their parents, we had to reward the Mom鈥檚 and Dad鈥檚 who played with a special treat. They were awarded the privilege of throwing the first buckets of water and their victims were our teachers and school leaders!

The Songkran festival at Wells Bang Na gives everyone an opportunity to experience the beauty of Thai culture with our family and friends. On behalf of our community, we wish you a wonderful Songkran holiday!聽

One of the highlights of the month was the visit by Mr. Nick Lively, children’s book author and illustrator.聽 Mr. Nick answered our questions about writing and publishing books. This visit was a great opportunity for students to interact with a professional writer and learn about the creative process behind the books they love to read. The best part of this experience is listening to him read his books!

Another popular activity during Reading Month was the reading buddies program, where older students paired up with younger students to read together. This not only helped younger students to improve their reading skills, but also fostered a sense of community and friendship among students of different ages.

Parents were also invited to participate in Reading Month by acting as guest readers for their children’s classes. This provided a great opportunity for parents to engage with their children’s learning and to instill in them a love of reading from an early age.

The school also organized a pajama day, where students were encouraged to come to school dressed in their favorite pajamas and bring their favorite books to read. This fun and relaxed atmosphere allowed students to get comfortable and fully immerse themselves in their reading. Before the students read, we watched 鈥淭he Gruffalo鈥� movie to spark discussion amongst the students.

Finally, the school’s beautiful garden was transformed into a special reading space. Reading outdoors is a new experience for some of us. This outdoor space provided a perfect retreat for students to enjoy their books in a new setting.

Reading Month is not just a time-limited event, but rather a stepping stone towards building a lifelong love of reading.
