Mystery Buddies

Our Mystery Buddies are feeling neglected....

Now that you know how to make a Table of Contents (don't try to do this until I have taught you...), please go and create headings and update the Table of Contents. I fixed up this one to show you what it should look like!

Then, you must create a new post in your doc. Maybe call it holidays? Or Main Stars? Or anything you like. 

Also ask another question to see if you can find out where they live!

Skyping with Preethi!

Another lovely skype with Preethi! She is very excited that her new school offers classes in Drama, Art, Science, History and lots more. BUT they start at 8.30 and finish at 3.25pm.

Her uniform is a grey dress and today she is going to ask her new teacher if they can set up a class blog to communicate with us!

Preethi phones home!

Preethi left us this week but we have already been in email contact AND skype. 

Good luck at your new school!

Mystery Skype Number 3

Yesterday we were talking to Awahono Room 6 again but they were in a different location and so were we!

First  we had to get into position again but now Ella F and Preethi were speaking

Now  that they said yes to the Southern Hemisphere we think they might be in Namibia

Then we asked if they are in South Africa and they said yes then they said that they are not near the Indian sea but they said that they are in walking distance of a beach.

Finally we guessed were they were they were in Cape Town!

First we had  to get into position so we could begin mystery skype.

Now that we are all in position we can start to mystery skype!

Then we have to all work very hard to find out our mystery skypers Ella.f and Preethi are talking to them!
