Connecting Globally - #travellingtales



Created by Joel Bevan's, teacher of our twitter buddy class in Luxembourg 

We are so excited to be part of this amazing opportunity to connect globally with other schools to tell a tale. The children have already been talking about how cool it is that we get to communicate with people all over the world even though we have never met them face to face. I have to agree, it is pretty cool!! :-)



We are joining up with our fabulous friends in Luxembourg to be part of a digitally created progressive book. Mr Bevan's class are starting the story off for us. They had two days to create the beginning of the story. We watched their part this morning and it was awesome! Our story is called "Avocado Babies' and we were really excited about the characters and setting they had created.

Now it's our turn! Our job is to write the build up and add some events and excitement. We had a fantastic time today brainstorming all sorts of ideas. We finally agreed on where we would like the story to go and drew illustrations to add to the digital tale. Tomorrow we will be making our slides and doing the voice recording.....stay tuned!!



Once our two days are up we send the story onto a school in New Zealand, where they will be adding on from where we left off. There job is to create a problem or dilemma. From there it will travel to India and be added to by finding a resolution. Finally the tale will travel to America where the ending will be set.

The final product will be posted here on our blog, twitter and Youtube. We are so excited to see the finished product!!

For more information please check out this You tube video and talk to your child about what we are doing. They really are very excited to be communicating globally with other classrooms and collaborating on this tale.
