Mystery Skype
This term Highnam pupils have been using Skype to find about classrooms and cultures around the world. Last week pupils in Year 3 linked up with a school just outside Paris. Excitingly, this week pupils in Year 5 and 6 were able to continue their topic learning about South America by linking up with a school in Argentina.
Mystery Skype encourages the use of atlases and Google Earth to locate classrooms in different countries by asking questions which need a Yes or No answer.
Here are some of the pupils enjoying their first Skype lesson...
This is what the pupils in Year 3 thought of their Mystery Skype...
"We worked out that the classroom was in France and near the capital Paris but couldn't quite work out where!"
Woody (Year 3)
"I really enjoyed my first Mystery Skype" commented Eilidh, "I can't wait to do it again!"
