Recently the Kindergarten Department of the Rayong English Programme School (REPS) had a Playground Plant Day. Dressed in green for the event, parents and students brought plants to ‘green’ the area around the new Kindergarten building playground.
First the students put a name-tag on their plant before taking it to the playground, and then they gathered for the Thai national anthem to begin the day.
Following the assembly the Kindergarten students did creative activities with their parents while the REPS secondary M6 senior students helped to arrange by classification and color over 250 donated plants. Then they proceeded with the massive job of planting them all. Next they showed the younger students how to water the plants using watering cans. When the planting was finished all the students happily admired an amazing job well done.

The planting of many different species of plants was intended to make the area visually more beautiful and just as important, to help students learn about different kinds of trees, plants and flowers and how to take care of them. The daily watering of the plants is a duty shared by all the kindergarten classes. Students also learn about the importance of living plants to animals, to our health and to our earth.

To complete the day, all the Kindergarten classes participated in a singing performance including, Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and I Love You, for their parents to say “Thank You” for helping us ‘green’ our school. Then everyone enjoyed ice-cream cones! According to a young student, “I like ice-cream plant day.”
