Holiday Card Exchange
Ms H has signed us up for the Technospud Project called The Holiday Card Exchange. We are in a group of about 25 different schools and we will need to design and make 24 Christmas Cards (with a New Zealand flavour of course!) for the participating schools in our groups. The cards will need to be made and posted by December 5th 2007 and will need to include some interesting information about New Zealand. Then we just sit back and wait for cards from around the world to be delivered right to our classroom! Cool ay? Ms H thought we could take photos of the cards as they arrive and add them to Google Earth along with the details from where they were sent.

[|Life 'Round Here]
Our latest collaborative project runs from September 07 - October 07. We're creating a movie each that shows what life is really like in New Zealand. The images used will be original photographs taken by ourselves and only 6 movies will be selected to go through to the official Life 'Round Here website for judging by International Guest Judges. This is the second project that Mr Craft and his class in South Carolina, USA, have invited us to join this year. Our working page for this project is here.

FrapprMap
= = Please check out our FrapprMap and let us know where you are visiting from! Students are expected to use the appropriate tone and style when posting to this wiki. You are **not to post** to this wiki like you would when you are using instant messaging, texting or e-mailing friends as this is a sharing / learning / teaching / collaborative environment. It's very important for you to understand the difference, and to know when to use certain styles of language.
