Video+conference+recounts

=Thursday August 12, 2010=

2W were very excited to participate in their first video conference with the other children involved in the Juju Project. Our video conference included students from Buronga Public School, Bega Public School, Jindabyne Public School and Gravesend Public School.

Each school had a turn to talk about making their Juju (mascot) and why their Juju had particular elements. It was very interesting hearing about the different parts of NSW that the schools came from and how their local environment affected the shape and style of their Juju.

Students then had the opportunity to ask each other questions about their own Juju's visit with their partner school. Ramsgate's Juju is visiting with Buronga and the students of Buronga are making sure that JJ is having a wonderful time with them and their families. He even went to MacDonalds!

Students also asked questions about how their schools are different and Ramsgate students were very interested in the types of things that Buronga kids do on the weekend.

2W were a very good audience and their public speaking skills came in very handy so that their questions could be understood easily and the other children, sitting in their classrooms all over NSW, could hear their questions and answer them.

Miss Coombes and Mrs Hogg are very proud of how well 2W listened and participated as a very well behaved audience for the video conference.
