Skyping our Quad Blog Friends

Today we heard from Mrs Schur at St. John Vianney School in America which was very exciting. She invited us to Skype with her class which we're going to do on Thursday morning at 8.15am (which will be 2.30pm the day before in America.) I liked the idea so much that I communicated with another of the quad blog schools and suggested they Skype us too. One of us in the hub will also contact the other school. I thought it would be a good idea to put a few people in charge of each school so we'll arrange that in the next few days.

Miss Holland: Hi guys - I wonder who can investigate and find out what the time differences are between us here in Auckland and the other two schools? If we're going to set up Skype appointments, then we need to be able to suggest times that will work. Do some research and let us know how you get on by commenting below. Well done to Jamie, Fatima, Oliver and Dani for their investigation today.
