“November, the Full Moon shines… and the water is high…” is a song that Thai people hear during the Loy Krathong Festival which falls on the 15th day of the 12th month every year according to the Thai lunar calendar. On this special occasion, parents in KG.2, Foreign and Thai teachers organized ‘Loy Krathong Day’ activities on 11th November for students in NC-Yr. 3 classes to carry on and preserve Thai traditions that have existed since ancient times.
             Children were excited to be wearing traditional Thai clothes, riding on a banana stalk horse, hiding a cloth, playing with a windmill toy, Thai dancing, eating Thai sweets, and learning how to make a krathong from natural materials, conserving our rivers and using the correct methods.
             Next, during lunch time, representatives of the upper Primary music students came to play songs for Lower Primary to dance to. Towards the end of the activity, teachers organized the ‘Little Noppamas Contest’. Boys and girls who represented each class in Yrs. 1-3 came out to perform Thai dance and answer a Loy Krathong Quiz, as their cheering classmates hoped that their representative could dance well, give the right answers and be the winner.
             The male first prize winner was Mstr. Pachara Chumrassakul from Y.2D, and the female first prize winner was Ms. Chotika Thanapoomtrakul from Y.1C
