Ruma Toru Otewa

What a great term we have planned in room 3. We are really excited about collaborating with room 4km, a year 5/6 class  from Vermont Primary School in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. We will be looking at the differences and similarities between our communities and ourselves. Vermont Primary is a urban primary school with a roll of around 400 hundred students so quite a contrast to Otewa School. I have been working with Room 4's teacher, Mrs McConachy to pair up our students so they can communicate via email through the ePals site (http://www.epals.com/). These emails are password protected and are monitored by Mrs McConachy and myself. I have asked my class to bring in anything they have at home related to Australia for our Aussie display, but rest assured Mrs Connolly, we will draw the line at standing you in the corner of the class for the term.
