Skype call to Australia.

Date: 14th Jan 2016 @ 4:06pm

Mrs Taylor organised a special event for Year 5 as part of their Arts Fortnight focus on Australia, she arranged for a teacher in Australia to receive a Skype call from us. After a couple of technical hiccups and issues with their 11 hour time difference, the connection was  finally established, then the children were able to ask questions about Australia and the Stolen Generation. Mr Jackson was a very informative and entertaining visitor to our class. The children loved it, as did the staff. 

The Stolen Generation is a topic that has amazed and shocked the classes, ask them at home to tell you about this part of Australian History. 

I would like to personally thank Mrs Taylor for her enthusiasm setting this event up and Miss Hughes for organising the Skype account (teamwork is a wonderful thing).
