Happy 3rd Birthday KPE

It is pretty amazing that we have been podcasting KPE for 3 years now. We started back in 2005 and our first podcasters are in Year 9 at secondary school! When we first started out with Mrs Lagitupu, Mrs Tele'a, Miss Meleisea and Mrs Burt, we really didn't have any idea what we were doing (because no-one we talked to knew what a podcast was back then), but we set a goal of publishing one episode every week. We wanted to give our kids a chance to tell the world about the books they were reading and a bit about New Zealand at the same time.
Well today we have published 191 episodes of KPE and we know that not only have we achieved our goals but Pt England kids have read a LOT of New Zealand books.
We have a short movie to celebrate our birthday (thanks very much to Jordan in Room 17 for the fabulous graphics) and we have published a Voice Thread as well. We would love you to figure out how to use the Voice Thread and to leave us a birthday message. We know lots of you have listened to KPE so please join in the celebration with us.....

  2. On behalf of our school I would like to congratulate everyone at KPETV for all the hard work and the well earned success. You and your students are a shining example of how a school can have an impact, around the world. I know a lot of ex-pupils that are very proud of their work that is in your memory banks and will stay on. Here's to the next three years!

  3. You have set a very high standard to follow. I remember your first podcast - I can't believe three years have gone by so fast! I hope the next three years will be as successful.
    Congratulations to all of you.
