At Wells Bang Na, our young inquirers are learning that some of the most powerful lessons come directly from the people around them. Guest speakers and first-hand interviews give our students opportunities to explore their units of inquiry through real voices, real experiences, and real perspectives.
This week, our Grade 1 learners met with Mr. Pete, an international businessman and traveler, as part of their exploration into community and relationships. The children asked simple but meaningful questions, and through the conversation they came to understand that listening to others and being helpful are key parts of building and maintaining relationships.
Meanwhile, Grade 5 learners took their inquiries into the digital world by interviewing Ms. Sunny, a prominent Thai influencer. She offered an honest look at the opportunities and challenges of being a public figure online. Students were fascinated to learn how social media can inspire and connect but also how it requires careful choices to protect privacy and balance personal well-being. Her candid answers encouraged our learners to think critically about their own online presence and what it means to be responsible digital citizens.
Through these conversations, our students aren’t just hearing about ideas in theory—they are engaging with experts, asking meaningful questions, and forming their own conclusions. It’s a reminder that learning is not confined to the classroom; it happens wherever curiosity meets experience.
