A Wonderful Adventure in Kanchanaburi Grade 8 Week Without Walls:
This year Grade 8 WWW took place from November 11th-15th, 2024, when students spent 5 days in Kanchanaburi. The fiveday experiential WWW trip aimed to immerse students in nature and history, offering valuable hands-on experiences beyond the classroom.
Throughout the trip, students explored Kanchanaburi’s rich natural resources in Khao Nampu Wildlife Center. Students explored the natural wonders of the Western Forest on the Nature Trail. Then students had an opportunity to visit the Mahidol University, researched equipment and procedures, finally made their pitfall trap and did biology laboratory study by groups.
In addition, Kanchanaburi is famous for its historical and cultural heritage. A highlight for our students was the visit to the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre, The JEATH War Museum and River Kwai Bridge, where they learned about the region’s significance during World War II. These cultural visits enabled them to acquire knowledge about the cultural heritage of Kanchanaburi throughout history. Students also celebrated the traditional Loy Krathong Festival at the hotel.
By the end of the trip, students returned home not only with unforgettable memories but also with a deeper appreciation for history and nature. The Week Without Walls experience in Kanchanaburi proved to be a meaningful opportunity for learning, self-growth, and building friendships, such a wonderful adventure.
