Connections with Australia- Blogging and Skype

Room 12 at George Street Normal have entered the Connection Challenge. They have been making buddies with a class from Sydney. Firstly they looked at their Blog and their buddy class looked at Room 12's Blog. The two classes wrote comments on each others Blogs. Then they decided to Skype each other. Room 12 used the Interactive Whiteboard to see each other on Skype. This is what Room 12 had to say about the experience:

"It was very fun and we asked them lots of questions to find out about their lives in Sydney."

Next, class 5D (in Australia) sent Room 12 a parcel with lots of goodies in it. They wanted their Kiwi buddies to learn about Australia and things that are native to Australia. Room 12 all loved trying the caremello koalas and posted 5D a parcel with a kiwi and pineapple lumps and other things.

"We hope that we can Skype them again soon. You can visit our Blog anytime you want to see some photos of our connections with 5D. You can see this at www.gsns-team12.blogspot.com. You can also listen to this amazing news on our District 12 news show. We hope you like the music."
