Primary Learners – PBL
Wow! Xrein, one of our primary learners, made paper animals and wrapped them in plastic to better represent how animals under water suffer from plastic pollution after learning about the threat to them and empathizing with them.

Dear WeLearn Community:
As we mentioned last week, our centers will reopen on November 1st. Below is an outline of
the reopening and attendance schedule for each group.
We will be communicating a detailed schedule and our Safety and Protection procedures early next week. These procedures will be very similar to what we are implementing currently with learners who attend the center, with one main exception: parents will need to submit evidence of the Rapid Antigent test once
a week. If the test is positive, additional protocols and procedures will be put in place as required by
the reopening regulations.
Outdoor Fitness Club
We will resume our exercise program at Lumpini park with our professional trainer from November 1st.
It will be available five days a week from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. More information and sign up forms will
be provided.
Again, we will send the complete schedule early next week with more detailed instructions and information.
Halloween Party:
Our learners have been diligently decorating the center for our Halloween party and we look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to join the fun. Register Here
As always, Upward and Onwards!!

Dear WeLearn Community:
I had the wonderful opportunity this morning to be commentator for the Primary Group PBL sessions. I was joined by two other parents, Allan Gallant and Mark Norman, as well as Coach Al. We were all genuinely impressed by the quality of the presentations: wonderful graphics and animations; and clear presentation sequencing with a strong call to action at the end. Big thanks to Coach Sarah for guiding them through the program.
It was great to see the teams remain so calm and focused in the face of technical glitches, team members who couldn’t get online in time, and other real-world pandemic presentation obstacles.
In many ways, they were more sanguine about it than many adults would have been! As I explained to the students at the beginning of our session, our PBL is more about acquiring key 21st Century Skills or “Future Skills” than about acquiring knowledge: skills such as teamwork, leadership, self-direction, communication, problem solving (critical and creative thinking) etc. So well done everyone!
We are also very pleased to be able to reopen our center on November 1st. I and my team look forward to welcoming our returning Learners back in our centers soon and meeting our many new Learners and Parents.
To help other families pursue this type of learning with access to the full WeLearn model, we will start
working on making our PBL curriculum and recordings of PBL classes available after the sessions.
Resuming Onsite Learning (Bangkok and Hua Hin)
WeLearn Center in Bangkok and Hua Hin will resume on-site PBL learning in two weeks, November 1st, 2021. We will be providing more details next week regarding the possible adjustments in our scheduling and also the government regulations to make face-to-face delivery possible. Rest assured that we will be very vigilant in creating a learning environment that is safe and secure for your children.
Wishing you a wonderful and safe weekend.
As always, Upward and Onwards!!

Dear WeLearn Community:
As many of you know, I’ve been in the US for the last month doing a “van life” (motorhome) tour
with my two youngest daughters (both WeLearn learners) and son (former WeLearn learner now living in
the US). As the founder of WeLearn, it has always been my dream to create an education system that
not only focuses on key future skills but also is flexible enough to allow families to pursue alternative types
of learning from time to time, such as “worldschooling” (learning through travel) or passion projects and
activities (like our Learner, Goyu Nakagawa, who is a top junior motorcycle racer).
This was my first opportunity to test out the WeLearn model in a “worldschool” context, and it held up well,
although the time zone differences made participation in PBL and STEM Innovation difficult (we need
WeLearn USA!). The girls kept up with their online learning, did a lot of offline learning in the great
outdoors, and spent valuable family time with their older brother.
To help other families pursue this type of learning with access to the full WeLearn model, we will start
working on making our PBL curriculum and recordings of PBL classes available after the sessions.

Dear WeLearn Community:
One of the unique experiences that our learners have at WeLearn is the ability to work on real-world social
challenges while also learning directly from industry experts and professionals.
Our students were very pleased to meet our Chulalongkorn University guest specialists in Anthropology and
Social Sciences this week. Our Secondary Learners interviewed three visitors who had spent years
researching and living with Thailand’s indigenous “Moken” culture for their PBL topic: Providing Quality
Education to the Moken Community.
Onsite DIY Onboarding Procedure
Our Learners who have chosen DIY platform for their STEM Innovation projects would have to come to the
center in Bangkok, 10am- 3pm on Monday, October 4, 2021 for the onsite onboarding procedure. This is part
