As a special treat for International Week, children had to opportunity to visit the Vietnamese Room. Children were amazed and fascinated by all the items and fruits that were on display.There was a small version of a "Monkey bridge" made off bamboo. Most children were excited trying to keep their balance, walking across the bridge.
There were also different types of fruit, an armful of lotus, a minimised rice field, a countryside model of a "hen house"....and so much more for the children to explore and enjoy.

The most exiting part was when we walked on the sturdy 'Monkey Bridge' and we learned about how its made.
ReplyDeleteHello ms duyen, here's my homework :))
ReplyDeletetoday in Vietnamese culture i went into the vietnam room ,something like that. The whole year 6 went explore what we like best and what we know about it.So I like the monkey bridge that is made out of bamboo. I like it because it is fun, adventourous and helps me to be imaginative. That why I like the monkey bridge.!!
goodbye ms duyen see u in class on 14/11/12
As Nhan Thu and Sony was saying, I also liked the Monkey Bridge, however I also liked to see and sort of play with the rice, next to the chicken cage. When I put the rice on the bowl you were and shake it, it was quite fun.
ReplyDeleteThe most exciting part for me was the "Monkey Bridge" and the rice filtering. Walking on the monkey bridge is scary but somehow awesome! The rice filtering was also cool, we use weird baskets and fill it up with rice and then shake it.
ReplyDeleteVietnamese Culture rocks!
The most exciting part of the lesson was the "Monkey bridge " . Walking on the monkey bridge is scary and epic because it makes you think that you are going to fall off !
ReplyDeleteMonkey bridge is Epic !
I have learnt so many things about Viet Nam! I have noticed there were baskets to hold clean rice and some for filtering. Traditional flower called lotus and the monkey bridge. I have also noticed the background of the room was the floating market and weat representing the south of Viet Nam. I like the bamboo tree.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time to see the monkey bridge ,I think is a little bit of scary and I like the decoration of the room, it's fantastic
ReplyDeleteFor me,I say the most favourite thing was the monkey bridge because it was very challenging and fun!

ReplyDeleteI have learnt so many things about Viet Nam! I have noticed there were baskets to hold the yummy rice and some for filtering. Traditional flower called lotus and the monkey bridge. I loved the bamboo tree
ReplyDeleteMy most favourite part is when we went to the Monkey bridge one by one. I have learnt a lot about Vietnam in this Week's lesson therefore, I found out that long time ago people used a basket with tiny holes to clean the rice. I also saw a dragon made by vegetables which is used for special events.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite thing in Vietnamese Culture is monkey bridge...
ReplyDeleteWe across the bridge with a stick which made from bamboo..
I learnt that country side people are more smater than the others...
I wish I can try to make a monkey bridge too...
My favorite part was definitely the monkey bridge. It wasn't scary at all! It was awesome! I Also liked when we looked at the rice separators. Historical!
ReplyDeleteI have learned alot today especially about what David B told me about the bamboo tree. He says that bamboo tree are usally found in the countryside and it gives you passion fruit and plum too. I also learned that in the olden times people usually used the monkey bridge to able to cross bridges. My most favourite subject was the bamboo tree, so I did a little reaserch about the bamboo tree ,and what I found was that the bamboo tree has been seen as a symbol of unity and love of the Vietnamese people.
ReplyDeleteWell done David! Glad that you did some extra research on bamboo tree. ☆

DeleteI have learned a lot, especially about the monkey bridge and the traditional fruit in Vietnam, i love the decoration in the room and i wish i did take part in it. I did cross the monkey bridge, it wasn't scary at all!!!
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot in vietnamese culture, especially about the monkey bridge and fruit basket. At first, I thought it was scary but when I went on it, it wasn't scary at all!!! And I'm also surprised that people carry thoes heavy fruit basket every single day to sell!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have learnt about the bridge, fruits and the vietnamese traditional flower! I love how you decorated the room and it look so realistic. My favourite part of the lesson is when I had to walk over the bridge also know as ' The Monkey Bridge '!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part is crossing the bamboo bridge. I thought it would break but it didn't. It was awsome!!! It was fun and i learned that there was a basket with big holes so that only the rice could go through and there was a basket with little hole so they could wash the rice.I peel of some rice for fun.
ReplyDeleteDuring Vietnamese Culture, I have learnt about the Monkey Bridge and the fruits in Vietnam. I noticed there were tiny holes in the baskets to hold clean rice and some for filtering. My favourite part was walking over the monkey bridge. It was awesome. The background was very interesting and I also enjoyed playing with the rice by filtering.
ReplyDeleteI liked the countryside station because it had the raw rice, the chicken pen. I played with the raw rice with baskets. It was fun but also VERY DUSTY!
ReplyDeleteIn the Vietnamese decorated room, there was lots of wonderful things such as the bamboo tree, the banana tree, the lotus flowers, the hen house...
ReplyDeleteBut my favourite part was when I got a turn to walk on the thin yet strong monkey bridge. I wasn't surprised because I tried it somewhere else before. Plus it didn't wobble much. Then it was time for us to learn some facts from Ms Duyen. She told to us something about where the room is set and what was the objects around the room. After a hour of exploring and learning, the Vietnamese session was over. I thought the session was very useful and interesting.
P.S. Even though the explore hour was very nice it didn't smell particularly pleasant!!!
To me I loved EVERYTHING it was just an amazing sight to see, It actually looked like VIETNAM! my favorite part was the monkey bridge and the two shoulder things :). I really liked my lesson ;). I learned so much in that lesson to! thank you Ms Duyen sooooooooo much and Ms Hong Anh and Ms Tu ( for setting everything up )!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The room didn't smell very pleasent
I really like the Monkey Bridge because it was kind of fun but I was scared like only 3% of 100%.
ReplyDeleteI learnt new fact about Vietnam it was dragon that make of fruit and the other things.
I also liked the shaking the rice with kind of plate....
Truthly, rice smelled really awful.
Well done to all of you who had done your homework :) You can each have 2 house points.
ReplyDeleteThere would be additonal homework to 10 "special students" who didn't bother to do it.
I loved going into the Vietnamese room and explore the unusual things( that we don't see in school every day), fruit, etc... But I like the trees in the corner of the room most, the lotus flower with the smooth pink petals,and I discovered that under the flowers is supposed to be a pond, or pool! I thought it was a garden with flowers in buckets! Even though the room was very exciting, it didn't smell very ...nice.
ReplyDeleteDuring the Vietnamese Culture, i learnt alot about the monkey bridge. It was really interesting how the monkey bridge kept it balance with all the extremely heavy weight on it. However, I was most interested in the rice shaking because it was like a waterfall when we put lots of layers on it. Did you know that a fruit dragon takes 2 or 3 days to make ? Certainly i didn't know it. Over all , in Vietnamese culture I learnt lots about the Vietnamese life.
ReplyDeleteI love learning Vietnamese to explore the amazing traditional things in Vietnam. Last Saturday Year 6 went into the Vietnamese room And I love seeing the bridge and i even went on internet to research about it. The bridge was made out of bamboo because in the old days vietnam does not a metal or cool things so they use the bamboo to make it and it is also very hard to walk on it to, many people had died or drowned. from Jason
ReplyDeleteI should agree, that I really liked the Monkey bridge and I also like the scenery behind too, because the scenery was from the countryside, and it looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThere was a scenery that had a field in it, and, in fact, it was called Ruộng bậc thang in Vietnamese. The people have made these fields because there was lots of mountains in the countryside and not really enough plain land to grow crops, so they made the mountains flat down to grow the wheat on top.
Me too! I mostly liked the Monkey Bridge especially when I tried on it.
DeleteI like the monkey bridge the most, we gone there and it's quite creepy to walk on it. I also learn about the dragon. Countryside and we experiment about the rice.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I enjoyed doing the Monkey Bridge because they were very fun to try. It is amazing how it can hold such heavy weights!
ReplyDeleteThere was a back-drop that had a mountain on it, and it is called Ruộng bậc thang in Vietnamese which means 'Terraced fields'. The villagers have made these fields because there are lots of mountains in the countryside and not enough flat land to grow crops on, so they re-made the mountains to have layers so they could grow their crops ontop.
The Bamboo Tree:
ReplyDeleteThe Bamboo tree is a symbol of love for the vietnaemse people. The Bamboo tree is also a type of grass. It grows in Asia, South America and Africa. It has about 500 different varieties. It grows 41cm a day! In Japan, gardeners use hollowed bamboo stems as water pipes and in China, the inner pulp is used to make paper.
