In Year 6, students are learning about Australia’s Connection with Asia and the diversity of our world.
We have been exploring the culture of Asia and how Australia is connected to Asia through trade, tourism, sport and aid.
We were fortunate to participate in a Zoom interview with Angela Reynolds to learn about an Australian organisation that provides aid in Thailand. Mercy International works in Thailand to look after at-risk children and support the local villages through education, food and health services.
It was a great learning experience for students to use geographical tools, such as writing interview questions, and learning how to take efficient notes during an interview. It also helped students understand what life is like in our neighbouring countries, and how Australia plays a part to support those countries close to us.
