Last week (26th, 27th February) classes 4A and 4B had a videoconference with two classes in Pilton Bluecoat Jr. School (Barnstaple, England) using Skype.
The main topic of our videoconference was food, the topic we have just finished in Science.

Before the day of the videoconference we had prepared 10 questions and sent them by email.
They also sent 10 questions to us and we answered them in class.
Some of the questions we asked were: "Do you know any Spanish foods?", "Do you have lunch at school?" "What time do you have your meals?", etc.
We have learnt that some traditional English foods are fish and chips, bangers and mash, which is sausages and mashed potatoes, roast turkey with gravy, stuffing balls and vegetables,...
We have some things in common, some children have breakfast at the same time, here in Segovia and in Barnstaple, our favourite foods (pasta,...), we like cooking and we have some differences too, especially the times of the meals.
We think this activity is very good to learn from other cultures, also for our English though the sound wasn't perfect and the students in Pilton Bluecoat spoke a bit fast, but that's probably because they were as nervous as we were. Next time we'll speak slowly.
