Gd 8 Video Conference with Bogota
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009This morning Grade 8 students had their first Video Conference with Colegio CIEDI in Bogota. This was designed to be the ice-breaker session in the collaborative project in which students introduced themselves by telling two truths and a lie.
Our student introduced themselves and asked questions in Spanish and French while Colegio CIEDI tested their English skills.
I have to say that I was highly impressed with both sets of students and I am very proud of our Grade 8 students for making such a great effort in both Spanish and French.
Well done everyone!
