Classroom Community Skype

The Grade 5's were invited to join a school in NY for a Skype Chat about Community.  The NY class were embarking on a 9 to 9 Skype Marathon talking to schools around the globe about the value of community in  classrooms and our neighbourhoods.


It was our Grade 5's first International Skype and they enjoyed it. They learnt a lot about the school they were talking to and the kind of environment that they learn in and live in.

We were asked to talk about:-

• our classroom environment
• how we create an atmosphere of enthusiasm and build community in our classrooms
• why community is important to us
• the rules and expectations of our classroom 

...... as well as the community in which we live.  Which was much simpler to discuss!

It was a great learning experience for all our Grade 5's in many ways!  

We look forward to more Skype Chats with other schools in future.
