Skyping with our Quadblogging Friends in Hawaii

5SK had an amazing experience today. They Skyped with students in Hawaii! It was definitely a fantastic way to end the term.

We chatted about school, food, animals, leisure activities and what it is like in both of our countries. 5SK were amazed to see all of the iPads in 5B’s classroom. They operate with 1:1 iPads. As we talked about topics, we could see the 5B students research to find pictures and then shared them with us. At the conclusion of our Skype session, the students of 5BFish sang us the most beautiful song. You could hear a pin drop in our room as the students were listening and transfixed on the beautiful sounds.

Thank you 5B from your friends in Australia.
