Melville Intermediate - Skyping with Canada

Today we skyped with Canada it was fun learning new things and teaching them things like your tribes and foods they had lots of qwestions and it was fun answering them. Today Damien and I exchange cultural knowledge about our different country's and learnt a lot of new info about Canada and it was really fun. Damien and Connor spent time this morning spekaing with students from Whitecap First Nation School in Canada. It fits in nicely with relating to others, one of the five key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum which all students are suppossed to involve themselves in. The line was a little bit laggy but overall it was a positive learning experience for our students and great to connect with students from another county.

Melville Intermediate - Connecting with Canada



On Wednesday morning in New Zealand it will be Tuesday afternoon in Canada.  We're going to be connecting with Mr Frape and the students from the Whitecap Dakota First Nation School.  Its an amazing opportunity for our students to learn about the culture of others, to talk with students in a country that none of Room Five have been in and an excellent chance for our students to relate to others. 

We'll be recording the session and posting some highlights of this later in the week.
