Allenton+&+Churton+schools

We decided to Skype Room 7 from Churton School in Whanganui to see what things that they did at their school that are the same or different to us.

Churton School's Room 7 is made up of year 3 and 4 students. Their teacher is Miss Meha. She is Mrs Huggin's friend from Canterbury University. First we came up with some questions to ask Room 7 at Churton School. Next we went through and put our own answers in for our class so that when we got Churton’s answers we could compare. Here are the answers.
