Wells International School Bang Na hosted a vibrant and educational event called “Around the World in a Day.” The primary building was transformed into a global adventure, where each class represented a different country. Students and teachers worked together to create unique stations that allowed other classes to explore diverse cultures, traditions, and cuisines. Kindergarten 3B introduced Korea, while Kindergarten 3A showcased Japan. Grade 1 presented Myanmar, Grade 2 shared the colorful culture of Mexico, Grade 3 brought Turkey to life, and Grade 4 delved into Egypt’s rich history. Meanwhile, Grade 5 immersed students in the world of Madagascar. Each station not only featured fun facts and cultural displays but also offered a chance to taste food from these countries or play some games, creating an interactive and flavorful experience for all.
In the Early Years building, the excitement continued with regional-themed activities. The classrooms were divided into different regions of the world, each offering hands-on activities that allowed the younger students to explore the world in a fun and educational way. The Arctic station, filled with sensory play using ice, captivated the children, while the Pacific Islands station invited them to make their own flower necklaces. For a taste of the Wild West, students enjoyed a scavenger hunt and sensory play with sand. In the Arabian Deserts area, children practiced writing Arabic words, and in the Jungle station, they got creative by making their own animal masks. These engaging stations helped the little ones connect with diverse regions through play and learning.
To conclude the day’s global journey, a special performance brought the celebration to life. Each class had a chance to perform something representative of the countries they explored, from songs to dances. Nursery delighted with a Texas Hold’em Kidz Bop performance, while K1 and K2 shared the heartfelt “Everyone Deserves a Home.” The older students continued the tradition with a mix of songs and speeches, including Grade 3’s “A Million Dreams” and Grade 4 & 5’s speeches about their experience being students at an international school. Though the performances were brief, they perfectly showcased the international spirit of the day, making “Around the World in a Day” a memorable event at Wells International School Bang Na.
