Loi Kratong

What a brilliant day!
Please post comments about what you thought of the day.
In Literacy we wrote a piece together about Loi Kratong. Here is is.

BPS has special days where students take part in different activities. There are many types of activities for example Loi Kratong, Tiger Day, international day and Busking day. Read below to find out more.
Loi Kratong
Loi Kratong is when Thai people say sorry to the god of water for making it dirty and thank you for the water.
On Loi Kratong the students go to the exam hall and do Loi Kratong activities such as make rubber leaf flowers, kratongs, dough dolls and lotus dolls. They also dress up in Traditional Thai costumes. The students float kratongs on the secondary pond.
