On Tuesday Week 6, 17/11/2020 we had a Japanese Obentou Lunch Day. It was great to see that so many students ordered and enjoyed their obentou lunch.

In total 320 obentou (159 Karaage bentou, 30 Fried salmon bentou, 54 Vegetarian sushi bentou 68 Gluten Free Teriyaki chicken bentou and 9 Gluten Free Karaage bentou) were ordered!! This means that over 66% students at CVPS experienced a Japanese obentou on that day.

Because of this realistic experience, Yr1 students have become more familiar with Japanese obentou and actively connect their experience to their learning and inquiries in their Obentou unit of inquiry. 

A huge thank you to students, parents/caregivers and staff members who supported by ordering obentou to make this cultural event successful.

Also, thank you so much to Year 1 Mrs Drakos’s class and our student social workers Jack and Dinh for helping with sorting and delivering obentou to each class on that day.

A special thank you to Nagomi Japanese kitchen for cooking our yummy obentou lunch. Students who missed the obentou lunch this year or want to eat more Japanese food, you can still experience tasty Japanese lunch/dinner at Nagomi Japanese kitchen (Shop 5/242 Hutt Street Adelaide).
