Skype Call to Hingaia School

Recently, Room 5 had a Skype call with Hingaia School to discuss about their MLE and ask some questions.Some of the questions were ...
How do you think the MLE has improved the way you learn ?
What would you change about the MLE?
What piece of furniture do you like the most in your MLE?
What do you like about the MLE?

They had some really interesting answers. 

Their favourite furniture was Bean bags, Ottomans and Wheelie chairs.

They Said MLE really helps their learning, they can learn with other students of the same ability. They like that Bigger rooms gave them more space. They liked their school how it was and wouldn’t change anything.

There are year 1-8 students in the same studio and it would be really interesting how that would work in balmoral.

Afterwards they gave us a tour of their school.

One of the things they had was the green screen it was really cool, room 5 really liked that idea, we think we should get one of them in our school. A green screen lets you drop other backgrounds, like a picture, instead of the wall. It’s like a big green wall or a bit of green fabric, as long as it’s a different colour from something you might wear. When you film something in front of the green screen, you can then tell the programme that you’re using to change the colour of green to a picture or different background. But if you have green eyes or a green jacket they will also change to the new background.

It was a really nice school.  It was really exciting to chat to Hingaia School on Skype. and very interesting to see how different their classroom was!

Thank you to Sophie, Ashden, Kerwyn and Harriet for arranging the conversation, and thank you to the gang at Hingaia for their time.
