Learning is not only limited to the four walls of the classroom. As we equip our students to be 21st century learners, we want them to experience activities that will allow them to think critically, speak and engage in conversations confidently and grow holistically.
As part of our Unit Theme in Term 1, which is about appreciating traditional arts and music, our grade 6 students visited the Ardel Gallery of Modern Art. The Gallery holds an art exhibition called “The Portrait” from the 1st of June until the 16th of July wherein they showcase portraiture of 17 different artists across Thailand. This activity provides an opportunity for our students to not only learn art from pictures and videos but experience them firsthand.
The objectives of the activity include:
identify the exhibit, some pieces of art and artists
write sentences related to art
appreciate art by visiting an art gallery
reflect on the importance of art in society
As the students gather inside the gallery, they look at a variety of portraits made by 17 Thai artists. First, the students cite the name of the exhibit. Then, as they move around the room, they choose three pieces of art that they like and they identify various information about the artists. Finally, some students take the time to interview the curator, Ms. View and ask her several questions about the exhibit and Ardel Gallery as a whole.
To culminate our theme in Unit 1, we believe that it is necessary to expose our students to real-life experiences outside the classroom. Through this activity, they get to reflect on the importance of art in today’s society and how art, in all its forms affect some people’s lives.
In the future, as we continue to tackle different topics and themes in ESL, we hope to bring them again to places where they can continue to learn and have fun at the same time.

หลังจากครั้งก่อนที่เราได้ทำความรู้จักกับ “น้องลูกแพร” นักปีนผารุ่นเล็กกันไปแล้ว ครั้งนี้เราจะพาไปรู้จักพี่สาวคนโต ซึ่งล่าสุดได้รับการคัดเลือกเป็นหนึ่งในนักกีฬาปีนผาเยาวชนทีมชาติไทย รุ่นอายุไม่เกิน 13 ปี ประเภท Boulder อย่าง “น้องลูกแก้ว” เด็กหญิงแก้วกัลยาณ์ อุ่นเรือนงาม นักเรียนชั้น 6 โรงเรียนเพลินพัฒนา
ค่ายเตรียมความพร้อมของพี่ ๆ ชั้น 12 ในครั้งนี้พิเศษกว่าทุกครั้งเพราะคือ "ค่ายเตรียมความพร้อมครั้งสุดท้าย"สำหรับอนาคตที่พวกเขากำลังจะก้าวไปเผชิญที่จะพาทุกคนไปสำรวจอารมณ์ ความรู้สึก และค้นหาคำตอบว่า อยากจะเป็นใครในอนาคต"
#PPTNAcademic#PPTNESL 🤓 The past three weeks in our ESL classrooms have been filled with “hands-on learning.” Across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, students have continued developing their English skills through reading, discussion, creativity, and meaningful experiences that bring language to life. …ผ่านมาแล้วกว่า 3 สัปดาห์ เด็ก ๆ ในทั้งช่วงชั้นที่ 1 – 2 ได้เปิดโลกการเรียนรู้ภาษาอังกฤษอย่างหลากหลาย และนำบทเรียนภาษามาสู่ชีวิตจริงด้วยการลงมือทำกิจกรรมต่าง ๆ มาติดตามไปด้วยกันค่ะ 📌 Key Stage 1 in Action In Key Stage 1, students were using English in many different ways both inside and outside the classroom. Alongside building their phonics foundation, they learned to listen, share ideas, work together, and communicate through stories, discussions, and group activities. English Clubs added even more opportunities for learning. In the English Cooking Club, students followed English instructions to make their own 🥪 “HAM & CHEESE sandwiches” while learning about ingredients and sequencing. In the Creative Hands Club, they used pipe cleaners to create colorful food models and crafts. Meanwhile, young authors in the Junior Story Maker Club began planning and creating their own Books with drawing, turning imagination into stories with a beginning, middle, and end. 📌 Key Stage 2 in Action “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” As students grow older, English learning becomes a tool for deeper thinking and communication. Over the past two weeks, students in Key Stage 2 continued strengthening their language skills through activities that encouraged them to discuss, analyze, and express ideas with confidence. 📚 “STORYBOOKS and NOVELS” including reading passages became starting points for conversations in class. Students shared opinions, discussed ideas with friends, explained their thinking, and explored language in different contexts. Through these experiences, they learned that English is not only about finding the correct answer, but also about communicating ideas clearly and working collaboratively with others. ❤️ Growing Through English Across both Key Stages, one thing remains the same which is “children learn language best when they are actively involved in the learning process.” Whether creating a storybook, making a sandwich, discussing a character, or working together to solve a challenge, students are gradually building confidence in using English while discovering that learning can be both meaningful and enjoyable at Plearnpattana. We look forward to sharing more learning stories from our ESL classrooms soon. 😊 Thank you for meaningful Story from ESL KS1-2 Team By the Corporate Communications Department Information as of June 09 2026 Follow Ploenpattana School’s page for more articles and photos of activities 👇 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D52UxKi81/
