Mrs Lowe's, Area 11, Year 4 students are involved in several projects with schools in other parts of the world.
Earlier in the year, they each sent letters to schools involved in a project called "From Me to You". They also received a wall full of letters and cards from other schools from around the world who were part of the project.

They are now involved with a school in the USA to read and comment on students' writing on their blogs and wikis and their students are doing the same for Mrs Lowe's Class. Terry Smith is the teacher at Eugene Elementary School in Hannibal, Missouri and the new project they are collaborating on project is called "ES1001 Tales". The task is to write to the "Alien King" to convince him that our country (Australia) is valuable and worth protecting and should not be destroyed. Mr Smith sent a video of the students introducing themselves to our students and Mrs Lowe is sending one back to them. Each student now has an international blogging pal to read their blog and wiki project entries and provide them with positive feedback.
A SMOOTH EXPERIENCE IN AREA ONE...
The Year One students in Area One were having a fun writing lesson when I happened to call in, earlier this week.
Mrs Kennerson had brought some shaving cream and the boys (The Year Ones in Area One are all boys) were having great fun smoothing out the cream in a thin even coating on their desk and then writing the letters and words Mrs Kennerson asked them too....wish I was able to do that when I went to school... It is great to see our teachers using innovative ideas to engage our students in a more motivating and memorable learning experiences...
