The Grade 1 and Grade 8's embarked on an exciting journey in early September.
The two grades joined forces to put together a PEACE POD to send to a school in the UK, and they put a Pod together to send to us. This was done for Peace Day 2012 and the contents had to be typically South African. We had lots of fun bringing in all sorts of things and ended up with a lovely parcel which was beautiful wrapped in some REALLY typical SA paper!
We sent our Pod off on the last day of the last term, and are waiting to hear if they have received it. Their parcel arrived on Tuesday last week and the Gr.1&8's got together to unpack. Amidst plenty of "wow's", "ooh's" and "aahs", Mrs Holgate and Mrs Nass unpacked the box.
Once they have received our parcel, we will have a Skype Video chat between the two classes and talk about the contents of our boxes and ask questions of one another.
Below are a couple of photo's of our Peace Pod before it was sent, and a video clip of our classes opening their Peace Pod from the UK. We are looking forward to the Skype Chat now!
