Video Calls to Germany in Year 5

Year 5’s global partner is Germany, with our penpals from Evangelische Grundschule Babelsberg.  Children have enjoyed exchanging pen pal letters, Easter parcels and this week taking part in video calls to see their global friends and speak to them.  This term, our school Curriculum Driver is ‘Being Part of a Global Community’ and it was fantastic to see our children embracing this so enthusiastically!

Evie - I enjoyed the call because we had a chance to meet everyone, we got to know what their names were and what they liked.


Freddie - I liked it when we joined the call because they were really excited to see us and eager to ask us questions. 


Maikls - I really enjoyed finding out their hobbies because we like similar things. 


Maggie - It was really cool how they like similar stuff to most of us like sports and video games. 


Howi - I really liked it when they told us about their favourite sports - my penpal likes football. It was nice to see them. 


Madison - I liked meeting my penpal. Sienna on the call was really excited to meet Sienna in our class!


Harland - I really enjoyed the video call because we got to meet our German penpals.  We still got to meet them and talk about how we are, how many pets we have, how many siblings we have and things like that.  It meant that we still got to see them even though we couldn’t actually visit Germany because of covid.


Naomi - I liked how we had a lot of things in common!  Some of us had the same hobbies, played the same instruments and things like that.  Our names were all different, which was interesting!
