3 Tech Projects on the Go!

We are almost at the close of the first term and it's been a great one!

We have been doing some interesting things that you may like to know about:

Firstly, we registered for World Maths/Science/Spelling Day for Grade 4-8. This was a huge success with the children coming in for some practices before the time. Unfortunately the site was too slow for Science Day and we were unable to participate. I am sure that for next year they will have worked on that glitch.

Spelling Day - typing in the correct words

We also have a Grade 2 Once-Off Skype Weather Chat on Thursday with a Grade 2 class in Switzerland.

They are asking different countries in the world about their seasons and weather and they have given us some questions to answer. Each child in Grade 2 has received 2 questions to research and on Thursday we will have a Video Skype Chat with the Swiss Grade 2 Class.  We are looking forward to a wonderful learning experience.

The Research Questions

Then the Grade 4's are about 6 weeks into their ongoing Project which is a Cultural Exchange Project with a Yr 4 Class in the United Arab Emirates.

With the use of a Wiki the two countries will be sharing information about their countries and cultures in order to learn more about one another. Anyone can follow along with this project just by clicking here.

Of course, we do have a learner in Grade 4 who is at sea for a year, and we are doing our best to keep in touch with him so that he is able to participate in the Project too.  We had our first Skype Video test call with him last week which the children really enjoyed and we hope to do this more often.

It's been a fantastic Tech term. Thank you to all the children and parents for your support.
