Extending the “Together We Can” Slogan

6SS have been thinking about what is needed in order for Thailand to emerge from the current situation as a better and stronger country. Today, we shared all of our ideas for how to extend the “Together We Can” slogan that was used to generate interest in the “Big Cleanup” on Sunday. The  students discussed what all of the causes of last week’s events were and tired to look behind the media, the gossip, the rumours and the colours.

By sharing their ideas they have formed seven new slogans:

“Together we can rethink about the choices we make.”

“Together we can all have a voice.”

“Together we can respect and care for eachother.”

“Together we can earn the trust of other people in the world.”

“Together we can make Thailand a cleaner place than before.”

“Together we can bring back the land of smiles.”

“Together we can correct our mistakes.”

A question for our audience: what do you think about these slogans? What effect do you think they could have? Could they be improved? Are they clear enough?

Paintings

On my holiday I went to Chang Mai and we  bought these really cool  paintings.  You might want to click on them to enlarge them. I am sorry I am having trouble with the layout.

The yellow painting with the dead trees:

All we know is that it is from the Brown House Gallery

The lantern painting

• The painting is called Zai and the artist is Niwat Kosoi a Thai artist

Today’s Snorkelling

Today I had a lot of fun snorkelling and exploring the islands. Here is some of the pictures of the trip. I didn’t take these pictures from the internet. The main highlight islands is Koh Yung which near the beach on the shallow waters there is many crabs, small fish, coral, shells, shrimps and sea slugs. Another place is called Hin Glang which is beetween the island Phi Phi Don and Koh Hong where I went snorkelling. I also took pictures of the GPS in the ship when we reached the islands.

My Trip To Phuket

From Thursday to Sunday I will be going to Phuket. (I’m in Phuket right now.) I’m having a lot of fun right now. Tomorrow I will go snorkelling. Here is a picture of the type of villa I’ll be in. (My family is using the smaller villa but it looks like this one.) My camera malfunctioned so I couldn’t take a picture of the villa. (This picture came from the internet.) I’m staying at Sheraton Grande Laguna.

King’s Birthday

Tommorow is going to be one of the most important days in the history of Thailand: Father’s Day! well, acually, this day is the birthday of the Thai King! Everybody rspects our King because he brought hope to the lower people in society. Everybody is wearing pink. Why? Well, since yellow is already the color of the protestors in thailand and the King does not want to mess with politics. He lets Abhisit the prime-minister of Thailand solve all about politics. So, Let’s All wish the King a nice happy birthday.

Wear a Pink Shirt Tomorrow

Wear a pink shirt to school tomorrow to celebrate the King’s birthday.  It’d be great if everyone in 6SS had a pink shirt on!

Has Thailand Always Been the Same?

Khun Warunee came to 6SS today in order to run a special lesson all about Thailand. Our unit of inquiry is all about changes – changes in thinking and changes in the course of history – so Khun Warunee thought it would be fascinating to look at change from the perspective of Thailand.

What did you learn about the history of Thailand today? What surprised you? What did you already know? How is Thailand the same or different to other countries that you have lived in? Make a comment.
