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.

Whanau Group Art: This is displayed in Kilbirnie Library

In 2013 the school decided to make whanau groups so then different people can work with each other and siblings can work together. This piece of art is about Ngake and Whataitai. Everyone in the school has contributed to this piece of art.

This artwork is displayed at Kilbirnie library.

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…
