Santa Claus is coming…to a Thai school
Posted by Claudio on December 22, 2010 in Teaching in Thailand | ∞
A few weeks ago, I wrote about classroom activities in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Today I had the pleasure of playing Santa Claus at one of my favorite schools in Samut Prakan: Bangpleeratbamrung School.
I sponsored a contest with attractive prizes (1,000 baht for the winner, 500 baht as a second, and 250 baht as a third prize) to find the most beautiful Christmas card. We scheduled the award ceremony for today during the morning assembly. Some of the students prepared songs and danced to popular Christmas tunes. Students, teachers, and the principal of the school enjoyed watching the performances and receiving gifts and candy.
Watch the short video to see how we celebrated Christmas early at BP-School:

Claudio, how sweet! But Santa is too trim by far so perhaps he should up the coconut milk? :-D
Ha Ha Ha! And I even strapped a pillow around my belly to be a bit beefier. I’ll keep the coconut milk in mind for my 2011 diet. :-)
Merry Christmas to you, Cat! Ho Ho Ho!
