On Friday we had our second international Skype call. This time to Bangkok, Thailand. We were much more prepared this time! With the help of Mrs Devlin we worked on our questioning skills to ensure our questions drew out more information than they did in our first call. This time we prepared a short introduction on our school and had a list of questions with people ready to ask them. After a few technical difficulties (video without sound) we were on our way.
Part of the reason we are calling other schools around the world is to teach us more about ourselves- What does it mean to be Australian? What makes us ‘us’? Our call to Bankok certainly pointed our some major differences in our lives. The school we called was actually an International school so they had 52 different nationalities of students attending the school. Didn’t we get a shock when they asked us how many nationalities we had at our school!
We also learnt about their food, sports, school and famous places. Next stop looks to be China at this stage.
