At Breakfast Time on Thursday 24th January 2008* pupils at Crownfield Infant School in Collier Row, Havering linked-up over the ClickToMeet video-conferencing network with a school in Beijing, China to talk about their schools and respective countries. Helped by Headteacher Sharon Nacmias, pupils enjoyed talking about London and China, comparing similarities and differences. This helped enhance the pupils’ speaking and listening skills, as well as having excellent links to Geography and Modern languages, with pupils learning a few phrases in Chinese too. It was an excellent session. One pupil commented, “This is really good, I am learning lots about China.” Another pupil said, “This is great, so much fun.”
