To begin this journey, the class partnered with the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP) in Phuket, an organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting gibbons and their habitats. GRP kindly shared learning materials with the class, which sparked thoughtful conversations about conservation and animal protection.

After reading the story provided by GRP and showing interest in a year-long project connected to their class animal, the children held a class vote to decide which gibbon they would sponsor. Their choice was Tam, a female gibbon currently under the care of GRP. To kickstart the sponsorship, their teacher made an initial donation covering three months of support for Tam.

Over the coming months, the Gibbons will be planning and carrying out various projects and initiatives to raise both awareness and funds for GRP and Tam. These may include class-led fundraisers, creative awareness campaigns, and sharing their learning with the wider Wells community.

The children are already brimming with excitement and ideas, and this project will give them a tangible way to see how their actions can make a difference beyond the classroom.

Stay tuned for updates on this inspiring project as the Wells Bangna Gibbons continue to learn, act, and make a difference for Tam and her fellow gibbons in Phuket!

The school grounds were transformed into a colorful mosaic of national pride, as everyone donned their traditional attire, showcasing the stunning diversity within our community. From intricate saris and elegant hanbok to vibrant African prints and classic Mexican costumes, the fashion was both remarkable and inspiring, a testament to the beauty of cultural expression.

Students took center stage with a series of original performances. Their dances and songs, though sweet and simple, were filled with enthusiasm and joy, reflecting the uniqueness of the students performing.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, the teacher and parent-led activity booths were a major highlight. Each booth provided a mini-introduction to a different country, offering a hands-on learning experience that was both fun and informative.

The food festival is always the big highlight of any international day celebration, and this year our community was incredibly generous in their sharing of delicious desserts and savoury samplings! It was clear to see that parents had spent hours preparing their dishes, as great attention to detail was given to the display and flavors of the food we shared.

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.
