Its primary purpose is to make people aware of the problems that many countries worldwide are facing about nature and the environment. Every 6th of June, we celebrate this day by making a commitment to protect our beautiful world. On the 6th of June, 2016, our school, REPS, also participated in International Environmental Day along with many people throughout the world to help save the nature of this beautiful planet. The lower secondary students helped to clean up our local community by picking up trash lying around the village. With their great effort, the streets now look much cleaner and the air is definitely fresher. In addition, a selected few visited Big C Supermarket in Rayong and handed out recyclable shopping bags to shoppers. Their goal was to encourage the community to start using recyclables and stop using plastics. REPS Secondary also held hands with Big C to offer each shopper a free REPS Recycle Bag in exchange for their plastic bags and discuss the consequences of plastic pollution. The students swapped more than 200 plastic bags for recyclable bags!

Students donated plants along with some tools and the garden-renovation process began. There were students digging holes, some students were cleaning the area and some were planting trees. Teachers were involved in this as well. It was great to see both students and teachers sweating after their hard work. The garden looked wonderful and everyone is definitely proud of it. Last but not least, REPS primary celebrated this day by making plant pots our of recyclable and biodegradable materials. Thee students want to continue planting trees and plants so that their future world would also be green. One teacher commented, “I think that it was a perfect day where students had the opportunity to beautify the school and become closer to our planet Earth.” “It was fun and good because I made some new friends. Even though there weren’t enough equipment, everybody was willing to help out. I’m glad that I can help make the environment better,” were the remarks of a student. What we have done may only be a small change but if everyone in this world could be aware of this day and help contribute to the environment everyday, the world would be a greener place. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today” - Chinese Proverb Contact : 038-030801-3 [email protected] June 2016 World Environment Day KINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUND CLEAN-UP ON WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY June 6 was World Environment Day and the Kindergarten at Rayong English Programme School in Ban Chang planned two events to beautify their environment and many classroom activities to learn more about taking care of our Planet Earth. The students also wore something We pulled out lots of weeds and dead green to help celebrate the day. plants to clean-up the playground The first project was to care for the plants around their central playground. The students and teachers began by trimming some overgrown plants and then pulling weeds and dead plants from the area. Next the students dug around the plants before feeding them yummy plant food. The children learned that it is important that plants get some food to stay green and healthy too. Then new fresh dirt was spread around the plants and finally the watering began to make sure all the plants had a nice refreshing drink of water. The students also enjoyed an energizing milk break after all their hard work. Digging around the plants before feeding This bag of dirt is heavy! We love feeding the playground plants! Our hands got dirty, but we did a great job!

First the students used chalk to draw the foot- prints and all different sizes of flowers. The students learned about mixing paint and how by putting colors together they can make different colors. It was exciting to see two colors change into another color, like yellow and red together made orange and red and white made pink. The fun began when the children dipped the paintbrush into small paint containers and started to fill in the chalk outlines. Their real brand of individual imagination was being explored as the children added their own style of creativity by using many different colors and making some flowers bigger and some smaller. Standing back to admire their work, one child exclaimed in Thai, “swy mak-mak” and another one said, “ I can’t believe we did it!” Oh, I can’t believe we did this! It’s amazing job from us I love painting! Before and After painting Project We used bright colors to paint the footprints and flowers Contact : 038-030801-3 [email protected] June 2016 Fun Fridays Fun Fridays in Secondary This year REPS secondary decided to try something new, organized, and fun during Friday activity periods.

  • Thai Classics Go Pop: a Look at Three Traditional Stories That Appear in Contemporary Thai Popular Culture
    International (Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts) Veridian E-Journal, Silpakorn University Volume 11 Number 4 January-June 2018 ISSN 1906 – 3431 Thai Classics Go Pop: A Look at Three Traditional Stories That Appear in Contemporary Thai Popular Culture ความเป็นไทยแบบดั้งเดิมได้รับความนิยมมองนิทานพื้นบ้านสามเรื่องซึ่งปรากฏใน วัฒนธรรมไทยนิยมร่วมสมัย Dale Konstanz* Abstract Although Thailand is greatly influenced by other cultures both historically and due to globalization, traditional aspects of Thai culture still remain today. Classic Thai literature, often stemming from folklore, continues to inspire fine artists, filmmakers, TV scriptwriters, comic book artists and producers of decorative objects in this kingdom once known as Siam. The literary texts are often reinterpreted and adapted for today's Thai audiences, and at times, individual characters appear outside their original contexts. Perhaps the most popular stories that continue to influence Thai popular culture are Sang Thong, Khun Chang Khun Phaen, and Phra Aphai Mani. By examining these works and how they are represented today, Thai values and attitudes can be better understood.

Its scope has been limited to the early development of this new literary genre. This study was based chiefly on the material available in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and in the National Library in Bangkok, and personal communications with many writers, journalists and men of letters in Thailand.
