Rice Harvest 2018

Tuesday 27th Nov 2018. Rice Harvest. Today Principal Fon joined the grade teachers and students at Ban Dom Farm near Mataneedol School to harvest some of the rice which they planted earlier in the year. They learned how to cut the rice using a scythe and how to thresh the rice to separate the grains from the plant. This a traditional way to harvest rice without the use of big machinery. Principal Fon advocates the use of active learning for students at Mataneedol School and this a fantastic way for them to have fun whilst learning about farm life and how the rice that they eat reaches their dinner tables.
