Get New Zealand Writing

A rather late update - earlier this year the class took part in the Get New Zealand Writing project, the third year Room 10 has taken part.
This wonderful project is created and supplied by School Kit (https://www.schoolkit.co.nz) This year, we were paired with a school in Southland.
Lots of fun was had finding out about our favourite places, songs, objects in our classroom, something the teacher says, words from the class read aloud text ... this required lots of great collaborative group work and use of google forms to vote for the final choices to go on the chart that was sent to our paired class.

Postcards were coloured in and decorated - put together these created a message, and on the reverse poems were written...


Some great learning about onomatopoeia took place:
In previous years 'found poems' have been written but this year it was something new, from a tin full of interesting objects 'slam poems' were created: 














Thanks School Kit for making learning fun!
