Mystery Skype - Australia Classroom

   Our next mystery skype took place with an elementary classroom in Guildford, Australia. This classroom consisted of all boys, ages eleven and twelve. These boys have to wear uniforms and they like to play basketball, tennis, water polo, and rugby. These boys go to a school located thirty minutes away from the Indian Ocean coast. Their climate is pretty close to ours except it is opposite because they live in the Southern Hemisphere, so their seasons are inverted. The boys celebrate the same holidays as we do, such as Christmas, Easter, Lent, and Halloween. They like to eat pizza and KFC.  The time difference is 14 hours ahead of us. A quick fact they told us was that Australia was founded in 1829. The boys also like to play a popular video game, Fortnight. Australia and Texas relate in many ways, like the language and climate, but they also have some differences which really show how diverse the world is!
