R3 Answering Questions for Catriona in Scotland

This week we had contact wtih Catriona who is a student who is from Edinburgh, Scotland.  She was studying climate in New Zealand and sent us a video asking us some amazing questions about the climate and weather here in New Zealand. We listened to her questions, thought about them, and what we knew about Scotland, and we produced this videos to answer her questions:

Catriona's Question was about our Winter - in New Zealand Winter is about the same as the Summer in Scotland. We looked at the differences between the two and compared the temperature! It was Winter we the Girls made this short video, and it was Summer in Scotland but we saw the temperatures was nearly the same!

Catriona wanted to know about the rainfall - was it greater in Taranaki in Winter or Summer? Was there one month of the year that had more rainfall than others! This question was answered by Nadith and Ryan, with assistance from Maree who choose to answer the question in the Auroa Primary School Library!

Royal School of Dunkeld

Recently we've been looking to help a classroom of students, Primary 4, from the Royal School of Dunkeld in Scotland.   They sent us a wonderful video with some questions for us in New Zealand as they are studying Commonwealth Countries.   We viewed their video in class this morning and brainstormed about how we could respond.  As they are a Primary 4 class we decided to get some of our students from Room Eight, our Y1 class to answer on our behalf.  This video was filmed today by Izzy, Gemma and Alice.

Today students returned from our end of term one break. As part of our learning this term we were looking at schools, classrooms and students who have contacted us during our break. One of our collaborations is with the students from Scotland. As part of that collaboration we decided to brainstorm what we knew about Scotland. Our students were placed in groups, collaborated with each other to check their information and then came up with this. How accurate is it? Do you know additional information about Scotland? Is there anything on the list that is not correct?
