Great excitement! Students arrive at school with the funniest hats. Many hats are homemade, others were pulled out of old clothing cubboards. It does not matter, every single hat is an orignal and creative idea when it is put on the head of a student. Suddenly some teachers appear. Their hair is different, they wear a hat that you would never expect from such a serious type of person. The “little People” from the Kindergarten arrive. They walk in a row holding on to the person in front of them. A hat falls off, but it is quickly rescued and put back on the right head. They stand on the stage and wave. Everybody clap their hands. Then it is the turn of the grade one’s, two’s and so on. The seniors are more serious, but they also get on the stage and everybody cheers. At the end it is a photo of everybody together. The school manager is there with a funny rabbit hat, the school director wears something which was knitted by some old lady 50 years ago. But, never mind, it is Hats Day and all who participated gets an icecream (of course that is everyone in the school). Hats Day is past, in two weeks time it will be Wai Kru Day. Then we will be much more serious, but it will also be fun!
