Our first Global Project - Collaboreyes

Our syndicate's first home learning task was to submit an entry for the Collaboreyes project. This is a global project where children from around the world take pictures of themselves wearing sunglasses in places that are significant to them. I couldn't pick one as there are so many awesome pictures and accompanying stories. I learned so much not just about Tawa and Wellington but also so much about the students who submitted stories to this project. I've included all your descriptions over on our flickr set.

But here's a slideshow of some of the stars of the First Fifteen.

 

Fantastic work class.

How did you feel taking part in a global project. Do you have any favourite pictures?

  1. Hello Room 15,

    The Collaboreyes Project is a wonderful way of sharing favourite places. Having been to New Zealand and Wellington a number of times, the Cable Car was very familiar. One photo showed a Girl Guide hall. Having been a Scout, this also had meaning to me. :)

    In my life there has been so many special places. It would be hard to choose. If I only considered my favourites when I have been in Australia, it would probably be on top of Mt Tarawera, in the Tongariro National Park or around Rotorua as I love the geology of volcanic areas.

    Enjoy the global project. This is a great start. :)

  2. Dear Room 15
    'Collaboreyes' - a great name for a fun-looking project. I enjoyed all the creative poses you found to be photographed in!
    The photographs emphasised for me the feeling that I need to re-visit Wellington soon (I went to teachers College there years ago).

    It's exciting to see your new blog emerging as a fun place to visit.
    I wonder which posts have you enjoyed the most?

    best wishes

  3. Hi Room 15
    I am so proud of your contributions to Collaboreye - they are creative, show off our beautiful city, give an insight into your special places and enable you to participate as global citizens which is what you all are.

    I have only lived in Wellington for five years and it is a really special place. Thank you for all your extraordinary work.
