Japanese Skype

By -
Today we had a surprise for the Japanese students. 
We skyped Room 8 at Melville Intermediate School because Mr Webb let us know that they also have students from 
Ritsumeikan Keisho Junior High School
Our students talked to Takuto and Asuka who are in Room 8.
Take a look at our vimeo of the students talking to each other.


 

The Japanese students laughed a lot and looked very excited about talking to their friends. We found out the students at Melville Intermediate had been doing music that day. We thought it was cool to hear them speak Japanese to their friends.
We think Skype is a great way to talk to other people.

    I really liked the smiles of our students when they realised that they were talking to students from their school, it was funny that they knew each other. We should do something like that again too. Next week perhaps, with some other students.

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
