Message posted on behalf of Heather Hadfield:
Hi All,
I am looking for a UK Reception or Yr1 class who would like to link up over VC to the same aged class in the US (Texas State).
The teacher in the US would like to make this a regular partnership connecting either every week or every two weeks. They have a Tandberg room system and would ideally like to VC with a school with a similar set up.
If you are interested in taking part, please contact me.
Thanks.
Regards
