Last Friday, we celebrated Teacher’s Day, Children’s Day and Sport’s Day. We had three exciting events packed into one fun filled day.
First our students paid respect to their Teacher’s (us!) in a traditional ceremony.
Then in was time for Children’s Day. Children’s Day celebrates the young people of Thailand. After all, they are the country’s future. It is also a good reason for children to have fun! We set up lots of different games for our students to play and win prizes.
There were delicious things to eat and drink too. Hi mums!
In this game the player had to blow the ping pong ball into a cup.
Benz won some potato chips!

This challenging team game took a a lot of skill, coordination and cooperation.
I’m not sure what this robot game is, but it sure looks like a lot of fun!
This ball bouncing game also required a lot of skill. Check out the action shot below!
At this station the students had to plunge their hands into icy cold water!
Lunch time!
After lunch it was time for our mini Sport’s Day! Let the games commence!
There were four teams. Green.
Purple
Orange
and pink!
We had a tug of war!
Who is the strongest?! Pull!
The students silently cheered their team mates.
Aun lead the cheering for purple team.
The students played a sport called chair ball. It’s very similar to basketball.

Deow limbers up for the relay race.
On your marks, get set, go!!
It was a pretty hot day so our students cooled down with delicious, cola ice lollies. Yum!
And the winners are……!
Lots of our students won medals. Congratulations everyone!
Today the whole school took part in different activities. Nate and I set up a station all about ancient Egypt. We challenged the children to build pyramids with Lego and newspaper then put the finished structures through an earthquake test!
Once they’d written their messages, they swapped their messages and decoded them. You can write your own Egyptian message at home.
