Our First Kids Cluster Meet

This afternoon we tried something new and exciting. We had an online chat with other Year 5/6 classes from Bromley School, Linwood Ave School and Bamford School. 

We worked in groups to answer four questions for the day, which included:

Q1: What are your favourite things about your school and why?

Q2: Do you think your classroom is like most other Year 5/6  classrooms in New Zealand? What makes it the same and what makes it different?

Q3: What positive skills and attitudes do your class care about most?

Q4: Make a sentence or poem using these 3 words: Teamwork - Attitude - Positive

We used Today's Meet, which we have used as a class and blogged about recently. This was a great way to connect with our neighbours and learn more about them. We loved sharing about our classroom and what is special to us about our school. 

Check out some photos from the other classes involved. We used the hashtag #linwoodkidschat on Twitter.

We wonder if there are things that we could learn from the children from these local schools in the future. Could we collaborate on projects of interest? What other possibilities are there?
