This morning two of our St Emilie’s families met with Mrs Cogger to work in the veggie garden. The tasks were to pick and bag rocket and to pick, wash and bag radish. BTW Mrs Thuijs loves our radish!! Unfortunately she missed out on a bag this week as we sold out!

If you would like to volunteer for the veggie garden roster then please send Mrs Cogger an email as she is still looking for helpers to fill the roster. Her email is

Kerrie.Cogger@cewa.edu.au

We meet on the Friday mornings when there is an assembly. We work from 8-8:30am in the veggie garden and then take our produce to the hall to sell at the assembly.

Mrs Cogger would like to thank the Devereux boys Patrick and Merrick and Solomon Bonney for working so hard this morning.

Term 1 Cultural studies focus: Vietnam

This term we are exploring wonderful, exotic Vietnam and the amazing features the Vietnamese culture has to offer.

Weeks one and two have seen us navigating the map to find Vietnam and discussing the climate, geographical features and the distinctive main cities of this country.

We worked together to produce a collection of questions we would like to be answered as our learning progresses through out the term.

It would be safe to say, we are all excited to discover the beauty and diversity of yet another Asian country and are eager to understand more about Vietnam’s cultural origins and how we can relate to them!

We have learnt that the symbols of the Vietnamese flag mean: Yellow- for the vietnamese people, Red- revolution, blood and life. The 5 point star is to represent the 5 social classes of Vietnam: The intellectuals, the farmers, the workers, the traders and the soldiers. We then made our own flags to consolidate our learning.

In this activite the groups chose images of Vietnam to orient and write questions. This imagery, along with watching you tube clips on Vietnam was a great way for the children to view some of the diversity within the country and compare it with Australia.

In this activity, groups chose images of Vietnam to orient and write follow-up questions. This imagery, combined with youtube clips on Vietnam provided a great way for us to view the diversity within Vietnam then compare/contrast with Australia.

The years 4-6 completed the "K" (what I Know) and the "W"(What I Want to learn) part of their KWL charts to help them focus on what is interesting to them and to guidwe and motivate their learning this term. There were some very insightful and thought provoking questions! A fantastic effort!
