Get NZ Writing

This week we have continued exploring words - we have been looking for ‘sticky words’ i.e. wow words that
hold appeal or that we find interesting.

Each student is in the process of completing a postcard with their sticky words, which when jiggled around will form ‘a poem’.

When completed, the published postcards will be sent to another school in New Zealand also participating
in the Get NZ Writing programme.

This is Room 20’s ‘Black’ Poem.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY - metaphor!

Room 20 are involved in the 2019 Get NZ Writing programme. This year's writing is about being in love with words - the sound, the taste, the touch of them. This week we have been enjoying writing metaphors and creating poems about ourselves filled with rich metaphors. We have also had a lot of fun with describing strange items and coming up with as many words as we could to enrich our vocabulary. Ask your child about some of the items and descriptions that we came up with!
