Class Two have been really pleased to be able to be involved in a project that started out in a school in New Zealand. This is the first time that they have posted their own mini movie. So well done everyone and I hope you enjoyed yourselves ... I wonder if you would like to stat your own project?
We were excited to get this reply to our 'keepy-uppy' challenge and this effort steals it.
Well done Middleham School ... Can you do better?
This episode was put together under the lead direction and technical editing of Libby and Nicole, all of the Soapbox team contributed masses. We are still struggling to get the 'greenscreen' spot on, we will think that through again ... we are very grateful to The Wensleydale Creamery for letting us film in their factory, really the cheese is lovely.
Episode 4 will be a competition entry, so we will be looking to do something a little different and trying to iron out some of the wrinkles.
The team love your comments and suggestions and we appreciate you finding time to visit our post.
It's been a great pleasure making SoapBox with the children at school. They are well on the way to completing episode three! 'Bloopers' is a short review of some of the moments that haven't gone quite right ... we've learnt and are learning a lot, and we laugh A LOT!
The wonderful TINY school of Burravoe is such a forward thinking, outward reaching place. The Shetlands are located a way off the North East Scottish coast. To find out more about this fabulous school (and teacher) that have helped us so much with our blogging you can visit https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/sh/BurravoePrimarySchool/
One of the features of the island of Yell is their birdlife and this can be seen on these postcards that we received today and you can also see it in their children's class work.
We are going to enjoy replying to these postcards. If you'd like to join in with some postcard swapping, please send a card to this address.

Mr E
We have been folowing Chris and his partner Liz on their journey from New Zealand to England by bike. Some of the SoapBox team decided to use their new skills to do an interview.
We are trying to get all the children to have a chance at receiving, writing and sending postcards. This little movie tries to capture some of their enthusiasm.
We've been really overwhelmed by the wonderful comments we have received about Soapbox. We thought we would have a go at answering some of your questions by making a spontaneous iMovie, this is the result. If it seems to serve a purpose we might try to develop this post format, let us know what you think.
Time flies and episode two arrives. The children have worked really hard on this episode. As always there is a lot more we have to learn, especially about lighting and blonde hair! We've enjoyed ourselves again and everyone worked well together.
We are really hoping to get a lot of comments, so please enjoy our work and leave a comment if you have time. Don't miss Jack getting wet or Nicole setting the hula hoop challenge at twenty!
This year children at Hawes School are trying to collect 100 postcards from around the world. Here are two postcards that arrived today from Canada and Switzerland. We are replying to each card we receive, we either try to answer questions that have been asked, or provide ideas for what our children think are healthy packed lunches. The postcards we get then get blown up on the colour photocopier and go on our postcard wall. I hope that all the children in our school (80) get the chance to write a card. It makes the morning post a bit more interesting! If you'd like to take part and help us reach our goal; send us a card at the following address: Hawes Primary School, Town Head, Hawes, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. DL8 3RQ
Don't forget to include your address on your card.
As you can see we have some nice Quentin Blake stamps to send you.
We have set up a twitter hashtag for this project #edpost
