MSU PRIMARY SCHOOL - GOING STRONG, BEING CREATIVE

On September 10 a large contingent of parents, teachers and students from MSU Demonstration Primary School travelled to Central Plaza shopping center in Khon Khaen where the students competed in futsal and tug of war competitions.

Tug of war competitions are immensely popular in Thailand and can be classed as a showcase event at all and any sports days held, whether at kindergarten level, between faculties at colleges or universities or even at veteran age competitions. They inevitably draw a large crowd and in true Thai style the spirit of the competitors enjoying themselves overshadows who wins and who loses the event.

Still, we must give credit where credit is due. MSU Primary School kindergarten tug of war team successfully defended their champions title won the previous year and should be justifiably proud of their efforts.

On September 13 Director of Mahasarakham Primary School, Associate Professor Dr. Maliwan, presented the winning kindergarten tug of war champions to guests at the opening of an exhibition showing early academic works of students from the school.

The two day exhibition was to show works created by young students not only of paintings but also artwork, objects and toys created from natural materials. The concept of the exhibition is to illustrate to parents and others the abilities of the youngsters to be creative and inventive in their work at an early age.

Students also partook in cooking and baking classes on the first day of the exhibition. The primary school student’s projects and creations aims to encourage positive social, intellectual and emotional development from an early age.
