Skyping our Quad Buddies - Cambridge School in Melbourne

Today we skyped our Quad Buddies in Melbourne Australia.

• there school is bigger than ours , 800 children, to our 560
• its a lot warmer over in Melbourne
• they have a special computer teacher as well as their own class teacher
• both classes have class mascots 
• there are 25 children in their class, we have 27
• we thought it was quite funny that we were just finishing school and they still had 2 hours to go.
• some class levels have an ipad or laptop per child and they get to take them home!!!!
• They have more playgrounds than we do 
• their school is 20 years old, ours is nearly 150! 

Thanks for skyping with us, it was fun. Hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Yesterday Emily, from the Christchurch Art Gallery, came out to work with us. We looked at Eileen Mayo art work and then we created our own versions. This is the process of our work.
