Skype

28/10/11 Today our class skype'd a class in America (North Carolina) We have been joined with a wiki called hands across the Pacific http://handsacrossthepacific.wikispaces.com/ We share it with the class in America, the teacher and his class are around 13 and 14 years old. They were really excited about our skype session because they are in America its different timing and day so they stayed behind for to hours for us to be able to skype them at 9:00 on the dot. The skyping went for around an hour it was really cool talking to them we were all excited about it. We each had some questions to ask them and they had some for us, one thing I don't think they no much about us :) But that's all goods. It was cool for our first skype session with the class, they all seem really fun and happy, I love their ascents! I also loved that they said Y'all a lot instead of do you. If you look at the our wiki that we are sharing with them you would find out about my school and theirs because there are some info about everything in our country and theirs, also some videos. We learned a little more about them with the skype as well it was awesome :D

2/6/11 Retro Organics- To day our syndicate watched a video. Our topic this term is about the environment and looking after it, its called our world.So anyway we watched a video and its about this man and his wife called Mr. Robin Greer from Gore, N.Z and both of their fathers died from cancer when they were in their teens and they worked on a farm. They both wondered what is in the milk and cheese so they decided to run an organic farm and make organic cheese and milk. Skype session... We went in groups and each made up some questions that we can ask him. When we rang him he sounded like a true Kiwi :) it was really cool to see what he had been up to on him farm. I think its a good idea to run an organic farm because you don't have to get all the sprays and poison and thing like that to make it grow and that they put on the cows, if you eat that stuff sure it mite taste yum but its full of chemicals and things. With organics you still get that yummy taste and also its not bad for you. They make any type of cheese that you would want, they have really nice and hard workers that make it all happen. He said that farming organically its defiantly easier than the normal farming and the cows are way more healthier and they get bigger more faster.

Here is the link to the video we watched have a look its really interesting! :) []
