Auroa Primary parcel from Russia

We've had some amazing collaborations so far this year with some wonderful classrooms around the world.  On Wednesday afternoon we were excited to see that a package had arrived for our class all the way from Russia, from the students from 'Learning Fun in the Classroom' and their wonderful teacher Lyudmila Golubeva

Earlier in the year we'd sent a package to the students from Auroa, Taranaki, New Zealand to Siberia, Russia.  Just last week we received a package from our friends at 'If Only the Best Birds Sang in Ireland'.  Our students didn't know much about Siberia but there was so much wonderful gifts and information in there that we feel that we have learnt more already.  An amazing gift from a fantastic educator and a great school.  Many, many thanks.

Auroa Primary School: World Famous in USA and Ireland.

Today in class we were talking about our learning network and some of the collaborations that we've been involved in this year.   One of the fantastic example came to our attention from the Third Grade Thinkers in Michigan, USA.  They researched our country and learnt all about us.   This is a link to their fantastic blog.

 Our second feature in as many days came from our friends 'If Only the Best Birds Sang in Ireland'.  We've recently been in contact with them to thank them for an amazing gift they was sent to us for St Patricks Day.  Two of our students, Tahana and Will left detailed comments on the site and they responded with two fantastic posts about food and sport in their country.

Then only today we received an amazing gift in the mail - a package all the way from our friends all the way from Siberia, Russia.  We've got a very special post about this coming tomorrow.
