Week Without Walls in Hua Hin Grade 5
This past November, the Grade 5 students embarked on an unforgettable Week Without Walls trip, filled with fun, friendship, and hands-on learning experiences.
Over three days, they developed teamwork skills, explored new environments, and deepened their understanding of nature and culture.
The journey began at school with exciting team-building activities. Students designed flags, created team cheers, and participated in friendly competitions like tug-of-war, three-legged races, and relay games. The adventure continued at Avani Resort in Hua Hin, where they strengthened friendships while settling into their rooms.
That evening, students embraced Thai culture by dressing for the Loy Krathong festival, crafting their own Krathongs, and releasing them in the hotel’s waters. The day ended with a lively beach barbecue and dance party, fostering camaraderie and lasting memories.
The next day, students enjoyed an action-packed morning at Vana Nava Water Park, participating in group activities and exploring thrilling water slides. The afternoon was dedicated to environmental education at Pranburi Forest Park, where they learned about mangrove ecosystems through a guided tour and an ecological scavenger hunt.
They even engaged in service learning by releasing mini crabs into the mangroves, as well as observingnature through binoculars and microscopes.
On the final day, students swam and played at the hotel pool before heading back to school, feeling happy, connected, and enriched by their shared experiences. The trip strengthened friendships, built confidence, and left everyone with cherished memories and valuable life lessons.
Just look at some of their feedback:
“While everything was fun, I loved the time when we got to play at the Vanna Nava water park which I think some of my friends also enjoyed in particular. The reason for this is because Vanna Nava is a very big water park and it has many places to go play so everyone won't be bored, it also has different functions for example, a wave pool, a hot tub and much more.”

“My favorite part of the Week Without Walls was the Mangrove forest tour, because we can interact with a lot of animals and I learned a lot of things. For example, I learned that there is a type of crab that can only live in the Mangrove forest water, I also learned that the Mangrove forest water is up and down in the morning and night.”
Korbua G5S
“My favorite part was during the first day when we got to create Kratongs to celebrate the Loy Kratong event. This is because I learned how to independently make a Kratong and had lots of fun making it.”

“We went on a trip not just to hang out with our friend and strengthen our friendship. We also traveled to learn more about ourselves and face a new experience.”
