The students in Year 4 have been reading the well-known story The Iron Man by British poet and author Ted Hughes. We watched some videos that other students have created about this story and we were motivated to build our own robot. We took photos as we went, wrote similes to describe our robot and used Photo Peach as a tool to create our own Iron Man inspired video. We especially enjoyed choosing the music!

Skype call to Everest
After a weak satellite connection on our first attempt, we had a successful Skype in the Classroom call with Mark Wood last Wednesday. It was an amazing experience for us all to speak in real time with an explorer on route to Mt Everest and we had lots of questions for him and his team. You can watch the video below to see and hear our live chat:
We look forward to following Mark's journey to the top of the world via his website www.markwoodexplorer.com where he is posting daily audio recordings about his experiences. We're sending Mark and all his crew a giant THANK YOU for sharing their time and adventure with us here in Phuket!
