Introducing Ourselves to Glenbrook Elementary in Illinois, USA

Here is our introductory video explaining a little bit about ourselves. We used our new video editing programme called Pinnacle 20 to put all the recordings together. Our film editors were Reno and Lucas.

Get New Zealand Writing...

We have received a parcel from Carisbrook School in Caversham, Dunedin. It was part of a promotion set up by Warehouse Stationery called Get New Zealand Writing. The parcel included messages written on postcards and posters.

We sent them our thoughts and messages as well. We wrote some metaphors about ourselves on the back of a postcard. The postcards fit together to share a message. 

Here are some of our metaphors we wrote about ourselves...

Pyper is a rubber band waiting to be stretched.
Albie is an Olympic athlete running through the race of life.
Epeli is a dog that is always there when you need help.
Reno is a calculator waiting for its next equation.
Alyssa is a breeze blowing people away.
Lavenitani is an actress waiting for a role in a dramatic movie.
Jaymee is a bottle ready to be flipped.

Our message says, "Talk to people who help you see the world differently."

Glenbrook Elementary School

We will be connecting and communicating with Glenbrook Elementary School in Illinois, USA at different times over the rest of the year. Their teacher is Ellen Smith. 

We have made one video to help introduce ourselves and will be making another one this week.

Our teachers will be reading the same book to our classes and we will all discuss different ideas from the story. The first book we are going to share is The One And Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate.
