Matamata Intermediate Mystery Skype

Today we did a Mystery Skype with Matamata Intermediate School. We are getting better at asking questions to find out where the school is. 

Mystery Skype with Goodwood School

MYSTERY SKYPE

Hi! We did a mystery skype today and it was our first time winning this year thanks to Cruz. A Mystery Skype is when you ask questions to help you to find out where their school is and what the name of the school is. They were very close to guessing our school. They said, Miramar Central and Miramar North and found out that we are near the Roxy Cinema.

We won and Cruz did guess it as we looked at different schools on Google Maps. Their school was Goodwood School.

Mystery Skype with Bailey Road School in Auckland

Some people from Tautoru have been doing some Mystery skype on Monday. We'll tell you all about it!

Isn't it exciting!

How to play Mystery Skype:

First, you have to say to a person that you want to know what your email is, and say that you want to do Mystery Skype.

Mystery Skype is when you skype someone or some people and guess where they live.

You take one question at a time, and ask some proper questions (not silly ones.)

Here are some suggestions:

Are you in New Zealand?

Are you in the South Island?

Do you live in a big city?

And lots more…

The school that we skyped was Bailey Road School in Auckland.

Today we did a Mystery Skype with a school. At first we did not know who it was but then we did. You want us to tell you how we did it? We guessed where the other school was and asked them questions to find out.  It was Fergusson Intermediate School. We prepared questions beforehand. We had to answer yes or no and then we did a video chat it was fun.

We skyped a different school and guessed where their school was. The other school was in Upper Hutt guessed the name of our school first.  We guessed some of the things near their school.      

We liked skyping with their school in Upper Hutt. That  school was very clever. Their school was different to our school and we still liked skypeing them.

Today we made contact with another school and tried to guess which school they guessed ours we lost but it was still awesome! We looked on google maps and we were so close to winning but unfortunately a very clever kid looked at nicola’s name and looked 

it up and found out what school we were. It was really fun! I want to win next time.

We are very excited to learn that we will be doing a Mystery Skype tomorrow. It is when you ask questions to find out where the other school is. Today we wrote some questions that we can use to guess the school. 

Some questions we thought of:

1. Are you in NZ? Are you in Australia? Are you in London? Are you in Asia?
2. Are you in Wellington? Are you in Hamilton? Are you in Auckland? Are you in Adelaide
3. Is your school in the city?
4. Is your school big?
5. Is your school a primary school?
6. What temperature do you normally live in?
7. Does your school go to year 6, 8, 10, or 13?
8. Do you have a uniform? What colors are your uniforms?
9. Is it a private school?

Mystery Skype with Whangarei Primary School

Some of us Mystery Skyped a class from Whangarei Primary School. It was fun having to research and find places on a map.  We took turns and asked questions to each other to narrow it down until we got the correct school.

Mystery Skype

Today at school some Year 3 and Year 4 children were skyping a mystery school.

What we did is we took turns asked questions to each other, to narrow it down until we got the correct school.

We asked questions like…

1. Are you in NZ?
2. Are you in the south island?
3. Are you a primary school?

And we got a bunch of answers!

We finally got the school!

It was Queenstown!

It took about 3 - 8 minutes to find out who it was...

So… It’s sad but true, They guessed us before we guessed them…
