During lockdown, some of our students were involved in Travelling Tales. Students were allocated a section of the story to write and illustrate. After they finished their part, it was passed on to the next student. What a great way to demonstrate our learner attribute of "being connected." In the past, we have been involved in Travelling Tales with other schools across the globe created by Joel Bevans.

Amazing global collaboration and story telling!
We used the Story Mountain as a model to our tale. It helps students to brainstorm ideas about characters, setting and key vocabulary.
As part of our 4 learner attributes we aim to develop connectedness. Travelling tales is a great way for us to connect with our peers and also with students globally.
