Talking to Scotland!!!

We looked on the map to find New Zealand and then looked for Scotland.  We discovered it was a really long, long way away from Westport!  The Commonwealth Games are in Scotland and we talked about the kilts that are worn.  

We were surprised  to discover that in Scotland it was night time, but in New Zealand, it was daytime!  

Next we did something amazing with the iPad!  We used it to FaceTime friends in Scotland!

We talked to Hazel and Bruce who live near Glasgow.  They had Scottish accents and sounded different to us!

We all had a turn to ask some questions such as:

What food do you eat in Scotland?

What sort of blanket have you got?

What colour is your TV?

Do your children go to school like us?

What colour is your couch?

These were interesting questions Room 6!

It was great to talk to people all the way over in Scotland, I know Hazel and Bruce enjoyed talking to you all Room 6!

Next we wrote our stories about Scotland.  This is our work...

This is great writing Room 6, I think Hazel and Bruce will love looking at your pictures on the blog.

We also talked about bagpipes and listened to some bagpipe music on YouTube.
