**What are Crazy Crazes??** =Look at the Glog below for more information...=
 * media type="custom" key="11207220" || Hello there!

Each year our Grade 4s look at the current crazes in our school and amongst their peers in South Africa. They also interview their parents and grandparents to find out what was fashionable and the craze of the day when they were children. We only do this later in our school year (September), but we would like to open it up to the world right now!

We'd like to invite children from classes around the world to give as an idea of what is popular and fashionable in their part of the world.
 * What games are you playing at school?
 * Are you collecting cards/stickers/toys?
 * Is there a particular pastime that is popular at the moment?
 * What about favourite TV programmes or characters?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Are there any popular books that you are reading?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Is there any particular style of clothing or brand that is very popular?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Any other exciting crazes where you are?

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">We'd love you to share your experiences with us!

 * Teachers can email **Mrs Stadler** to have a page created in this wiki, for their class.
 * On that page you may share with us in any format you like, the crazes/fads that are happening in your school and country.
 * Feel free to use any form of Web 2.0 tool that is possible to use within Wikispaces e.g. **videos, photos, PhotoPeach, Animoto, VoiceThread, Glogster, Prezi** etc.
 * Plain written pieces from the children are welcome too!
 * Feel free to make the page your own.
 * Please add a little information about your class, school and where you are from, so that our children can learn from each other.
 * Let's make learning FUN!

I look forward to working with you all and I am excited about this project. Happy learning everyone!
