A lot of new children were taking part from Gearies this time. This would be the first time they had experienced video conferencing. The class were still arriving when Dan connected to us,the children became very focused on the board on arriving to the suite really not knowing what to expect. I felt this lead to a little confusion on what was to happen next.
Hatton school also changed format this week, with just a few children taking part.
Gearies started by singing a hello song to welcome Hatton, something we wanted to do as Hatton in previous weeks had always warmly welcomed us.
Our objective this week was just to share a small amount of time thinking of the animals that live in the jungle using toys, picture and children making the sounds.
We sang a song for the children then to choose which animals they would like to meet.
Our children became very excited, with several children standing up at once to share their toys and sounds.
The children from Hatton had work very hard, producing some fantastic pictures and mask. Well done! The children and staff from Gearies really enjoyed you sharing them with us.
We had decided to sing Down in the jungle as our closing song, but lots of us had forgot the words, but Hatton sang along to help us out.
Lots of our children continued to talk about their experience for the rest of the afternoon, and we all felt that it had added additonal excitement to our safari book week.
Thank you Hatton, once again.
