There were two linking days, one for primary and one for secondary schools. On each day we had a very successful live webcam link to the Falkland pupils. Chosen pupils were able to speak to their peers in each country.
Various questions were asked, what hobbies do you do? ; do you see penguins everyday? ; how do you travel to school? One of the most unusual questions asked was ‘Do you eat penguin eggs and how do they taste?’ The answer was ‘Yes’ from some of the children but a resounding ‘No’ from the teacher! The teacher explained that in the past it was done but now for conservation reasons the penguin eggs should not be taken and eaten. Although she did go on to describe that in penguin eggs the yolk is pink and the ‘white’ remains clear even after cooking.
