United Nations Year of Cooperatives • What is a cooperative? • Business owned and run by and for their members • Equal say in what the business does • Share in the profits • Driven by values rather than profits • Building a better world • Our cooperative is a vegetable garden called “proud of our patch”

  10. Proud of our Patch • School will need to establish the vegie patch • Network with the community business such as Bunnings • Seek donations from parents (not necessary money, seeds, labour) • Students to have direct input into which vegetables to plant. • Each class will be on a roster – weekly? • Duties will include • maintain • harvesting • monitoring and upkeep

  11. Proud of our Patch • What to do with our Vegetables? • Sell to parents • Sell to neighbouring High School - Home Economic classes • Profits used to purchase seeds and upkeep the patch

  15. Australian Curriculum Phase 1 - English • Focusing on The National Year of Reading. • The Australian Curriculum Leaning Area will be English • The Year one area of learning will be • ACELA1451 – identify parts of a simple sentence • ACELY1661 – create imaginative and informative text showing text structure, word choice, spelling and multimodal elements • ACELY1656 - engage in conversation/discussions, showing interest and asking questions. • ACELY1658 - Describe some differences between imaginative informative and persuasive texts
