Last week Miss Willats told us all about video conferencing. It sounded great so when we found out that we were going to video conference with another school, we got really excited! On wednesday afternoon we video called another set of Y5’s at another school; Greenhill who are right over the other side of Sheffield. We had 30 children in our classroom talking to Greenhill school, they only had about 8 children so it was far easier for us to see each of their faces than it was for us to see them. One of the boys cheekily asked if there were any cute girls in our class. Some of the girls got really embarresed but most of us just waved back at him!
The reason for this video conference was to introduce each other’s schools. A few chidlren from each school had prepared a report about different things about our school. After each school had presented, we both looked at each other’s websites to find out more. We then linked up again to ask each other questions. I liked one of things on there website which said ‘Greenhill’s got talent’! We like that idea and hope maybe one day that we would hold the same type of event at SJS. the only problem was the strange clciking noise that came out of the speakers. We also need to remember to be very quiet when someone from the other end is speaking!
Next time we see them, Miss W says we’re going to have a maths quiz against them!
