A Letter form our Class Pal Tanfield Lea P. S., UK

Dear Linlin and your class,

I hope you are well and enjoying the holidays.

Thank you so much for the parcel you sent us from Taiwan. We loved seeing your logo decorated so beautifully and the fantastic English you used.

The parcel arrived on our last day of school and our Year 6 children have now left the school for the summer holidays (until 4th September) but they will return to their new secondary school which is 1 km up the road. Will you have the same students when you come back from your holidays?

If you do, my new class could reply to you (via mail or perhaps email) or if you have new pupils we could start developing their friendship earlier.

Speak to you again soon and best regards,
From: Year 6

Dear Year 6,
I am so happy to know that you already received our parcel! My classes will remain the same and they will become G6. We would be very excited to be your class pals to a new class of yours and also we would like to thank the students who wrote us and uploaded photos for us.

My school will resume on August 30th and we will surely keep in touch with you. I will take new photos or short video clips when my students are back to school.

Wish you a great summer vacation,

Best regards,

Linlin

The Global Classroom 2011-12 Closing Webinars were held over the weekend, and marked the official conclusion of our 2011-12 project.

Despite enormous technical problems with the first (Americas) webinar, the second (Australia/Europe) webinar was a great success, with speakers from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Romania, Taiwan, India, and Germany.

The sessions were recorded, and can be downloaded via the links in this presentation.

A Letter from our Class pal in Uganda (5-5)

Dear G5

Dear all our Oddizzi classpals.

Time has flown by and we finish Year 5 tomorrow!!! We will end with a class party, swimming and a whole school assembly.

Most of us are going to Year 6 at Rainbow but some people are leaving and going to England, Scotland, Wales and Kenya.

This week we have been finishing lots of work, especially our DT project which was to make a moving toy using cams!!

We had WOW awards last week where a child in each class received awards for Achievement, Progression and Creativity. We also got badges for housepoints; 50 housepoints gets you a bronze badge, 100 a silver, 150 a gold and 200 a wise owl badge. Most of us also gained our pen licenses so we can write in pen in Year 6!

Some of us are really looking forward to Year 6 trips- we get to go for a week to the Rwenzori mountains as well as the chimp sanctuary and paintballing!!

Aslacton- we like your class pet Noodles- we read his blog and thought it was very funny. We would like to get a class pet next year!! Our favourite athletes are: Usain Bolt, Ngamba Mildred (she is our secondary PE teacher but she is also a sprinter and is trying out for the Olympics at the moment so watch out for her!), Tyson Gay, Tom daley, Kobey Bryant.

We also had our sports day last week. It was great fun and Kyoga won. We did many races including 600m and egg and spoon.

This week, as well as finishing our DT we have been using the ICT lab to go onto mathletics a lot. Do any of you use mathletcis in your school? It's great! We have also been reading The Secret garden in Literacy and watched the film on Monday.

In PE this year we have played Tag rugby, football, netball, basketball and golf as well as athletics and swimming. Tomorrow there is a staff versus children football match before the assembly.

Yesterday we got our yearly reports. Most of us were very pleased!!

We are all very excited about the holidays and some of us are going away. We will visit: Dubai, UK, Tanzania, Seychelles, South Africa, Kenya, Wales and Scotland.

We are sorry we have not been able to chat with you on skype but our internet connection has not been quick enough lately. Hopefully we will be able to keep in contact with you as we all move up a year. Next year we will be in 6SB with Mrs. Balasundar! Hope to hear from you then (we start back 30th August!)
