This afternoon the Year 6 students connected with students from Sophia, Bulgaria. We provided an audience for the Year 3s whilst they shared highlights of their learning throughout the ‘A Week in the Life’ project.

We were able to connect with them through an online forum called Fuze. Fuze enables people to enter an online ‘classroom’. We had participants from Bulgaria, Australia, New Zealand and America. At 3:00pm our time it was 8:30am in Bulgaria. Many of our students stayed on after the end of the school day to enable this to take place.

It was great to hear the students from Bulgaria share the varied knowledge, skills and new understandings they have developed as a result of this project.

Our students have been busy each preparing a slide to contribute to our school’s slide show, which will highlight our learning over the course of the project. We will participate in another Student Summit with the students from New Zealand soon.

Students have been working on international teams to collate and share their learning on their various topics through Voice Thread. The final products, which are still being added to, can be viewed here:
