From asking him how much he makes per month to his favorite sport, our questions covered a whole range. Thank you Joel for sharing with us your time and your wisdom.

We were big on painting all of this term. A variety of techniques were explored. The Colors from Nature session made us aware of the palette of colors nature provides.
Cooking with Khru Maprang
Under the expert guidance of Khru Maprang, we tried our hand at making Bubble Tea. A reasonably successful endeavor.
Badminton with Khru Mel
Badminton was our sport for the term. The grand finale was the tournament. The 'fight for gold' was an exciting one.
Real-life Expert
We were honored to welcome Dr. Robert, retired engineer from NASA, who shared with us so many difficult concepts in easy to understand language. We know now what the Karman Line is.
The Hero's Journey
September 2020
Our first week of Term 3. We began with Joseph Campbell's - The Hero's Journey. Our main takeaway from this - a challenging phase means that we are in unknown territory and are moving towards acquiring a special strength (super power) so let's not turn around
Knitting
We are thankful to Margie, a visitor from UK who got us started with knitting. We are working on our patchwork quilt.
Life Skills with Khru Tem
We covered many practical skills in Khru Tem's life-skills sessions. From sewing a button to reading labels, we learnt so much in these weekly sessions.
