Grade 7 Week Without Walls Living Sukhothai Together
Week Without Walls with G7 on November 17-21, 2025, in Sukhothai felt like one of those trips that instantly becomes part of the grade’s shared story. From the moment the group arrived in Sukhothai, you could feel the “we’re in this together” energy. Students moved as a team, looked out for one another, and showed what collaboration really looks like when you’re learning outside the classroom.
Across the week, participation wasn’t just encouraged - it was the norm. Every student jumped into every activity, and that spirit of inclusion made the experience shine. Whether they were exploring Sukhothai Historical Park on bikes, visiting Wat Si Chum and the national museum, or reflecting together at the end of the day, they did it side by side, making sure nobody was left out. Even when schedules split the class into two groups for workshops, the feeling stayed the same: everyone belonged, and everyone contributed.
One of the biggest highlights was the Organic Agriculture Project. This was hands-on learning at its best - farm tours, gathering duck eggs, planting vegetables, and, most memorably, planting rice seedlings in the mud. And yes, everyone participated. Rubber boots on (and stuck!), mud splashes, laughter bouncing across the field - students fully embraced the messy, joyful reality of farming. They didn’t just tolerate the mud; they had a blast in it. You could see confidence growing with every (heavy and squishy) step, and the way students encouraged each other made it even better.
The rest of the trip kept that same upbeat rhythm. At the Dinosaur Museum, students became paleontologists for a day: competing and comparing discoveries, identifying and cleaning fossils, and cheering each other on. In the Thai handicraft sessions, they painted ceramic pottery, shirts, and cooked Thai desserts, sharing tools, ideas, and lots of proud “look what I made!” moments. Evenings were all about togetherness too: board games, drama performances, a khantoke dinner with Thai dance, and karaoke that turned the function room into a full-on celebration.
And let’s talk about the weather: absolute dream status. Sunny, comfortable, and perfectly matched to the students’ mood. They were happy, energetic, and so into being together that they kept choosing to walk everywhere—even when hotel trams were available. That says everything, doesn’t it? When students would rather walk as a group than ride, you know they’re having a great time.
Week Without Walls was more than a trip—it was a community in motion. G7 showed curiosity, kindness, and a real commitment to learning together.Mud, fossils, bikes, and belly laughs—every part of it was shared, and that shared joy is what made the week unforgettable.
