The Vietnam War through a North Vietnamese point of view

Huong shares her memories of the Vietnam War with the students of Terminale SIA

On Friday 5th, February the Senior SIA class was lucky enough to listen to the testimonies of a North Vietnamese citizen who was born in Hanoi (North Vietnam) in 1972, during the Vietnam War. The stories she gathered from her family and friends back in Vietnam were quite interesting and unique, as they were direct anecdotes from people who had really experienced and lived through what we learn in history books nowadays. It helped us understand the Vietnamese point of view better rather than learning about this war through an Western one. For example, one story was about her older sister going to school and the school being bombed just minutes after she left it. After this intervention, the class studied a timeline of the Vietnam War, linking the different dates to the stories we had just heard before.

A trip to New Zealand!

Stephanie, our assistant, is from New Zealand. So, after Australia, we continue our trip in Oceania…

Photos brought by Stephanie and comments by the 4th graders :

« The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington. Aotearoa means New Zealand in Maori »

« This is the flag of New Zealand. On the flag, there is the British flag. New Zealand is part of the Commonwealth »

« This is the capital city of New Zealand. Before, the capital city was Auckland. »

This is Wellington. It’s very windy.

There is a big time difference between France and NZ.

Christmas is in the summer.

The theme of our exchange is art.

Here is one of the letters we received from them. We are very happy to learn more about Seattle and about their school!

Create your own story (Oren’s story)

Story starter : The doorbell rang. When I opened the door, there on our porch was…

…a man with a cane who said something to me. He said : « if you keep on not doing what your parents are saying, you will have a curse ».

He did not tell me what would happen though.

At some point I forgot about it and kept doing it.

The next day the same man ringed the doorbell. He just told me that I had the curse.

So I stopped doing it and everything went better !

Oren, January 2021
