This is one way to commemorate how their language came to be. As usual our school prepared a half day activity. Regular classes in the morning and then after lunch the students were gathered in their respective places in the playground. Each level except grade one students have their own simple exhibits. The grade 2/2 students demonstrated on how to cook a Thai dessert cooked in banana leaves. The teacher called for me to make “KHANOM KUWAI”. It ‘s a mixture of a fine ground meat of coconut ,coconut milk, mashed banana and sugar wrapped in banana leaves. I tried it though. The demonstration seemed easy but when I tried, oh I lose my face to my students. They began teasing me. One said, “KRU THAM MAI PHEN, GEEN YANG DIYAW “(the teacher doesn’t know how to make, but she’s good in eating). Oh my, my, that’s true but did he have to say it? So I said to the boy in my stern voice , “ NU, MANEE SAWN KRU HAI NOI . DAI KRU THAM YUE YUE ,DAI GEEN YUE YUE “ Co me here , teach me how so I can make a lot and I will eat more. It made my students laugh and smile while helping one another.
The grade 2/3 demonstrated on how to make a simple dragonfly. I even tried to make myself one. The patterns and materials were easy to prepare.
While the grade 6 students presented a debate about The pros – cons of using cellphones.
