TODAY WAS THE DAY WE SKYPED AND IT WORKED!!!
This morning we were SOOO excited because we knew we were going to make our first SKYPE calls - one to MRS D and if that worked, then one to ELIZABETH!!
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE SKYPE?
WE MAKE A PHONE CALL ON THE COMPUTER!
We had to wait for Mrs D to come on line. Mrs J from Year 6 came down to watch and learn from us. We gave a cheer when, right on 9 o'clock, the little icon changed to green.
Mrs M clicked on the GREEN PHONE and it started to ring. Finally Mrs D answered and we could SEE her on the screen and HEAR her through the speakers!We had to remember to wait a little bit after Mrs D had spoken before we did because there's a DELAY when you talk.
Mrs D moved the camera and showed us around her kitchen and lounge room.
Sometimes her voice slowed right down and the screen froze, then the line dropped out. We had to ring back 4 times! In the end Mrs M had to type in a chat message to say 'Goodbye'. We hoped this wouldn't happen when we called ELIZABETH!
At 9:30 we called ELIZABETH. It was 7:30 on Sunday night in Middletown, New York where Elizabeth is.
We gave a REALLY BIG CHEER and CLAPPED when Elizabeth's face came on the screen. WE all called out "HELLO, ELIZABETH"!
We spent about 15 minutes talking to Elizabeth. We introduced ourselves and she showed us her dog Tucker.
It was just SOOO AWESOME! Mrs J came back to watch with some of her class and Mrs S and Mrs B came down from their offices to watch too.
