Skyping with our buddies

This term our class has had the privilege of connecting with a Year 3 class in Australia, Sydney from Newington College. The children started with emails and have finally had the chance to talk to their buddies via Skype. Here is a snapshot of Kyan talking to Cullen. Each buddies are given 10 minutes because of time difference and trying to get everyone through. Kyan and Cullen talked for 30 minutes. It was nice to see them getting along like old pals. Here is a snapshot of Kyan and Cullen chatting via skype.
