We were very lucky last week to be able to skype with a small village in Lombok which is in Indonesia. Stephanie came to our school to help us skype with the village school. She spent some time there as a volunteer teaching the children English. She asked if our school would be interested in skyping with the village. Ms. Tieppo and Mrs. Mosbauer were very excited and said yes. Miss Y also helped us out on the day by giving us the Library space and her IWB. A few children in our class asked some great questions.
We learned so much!
