Get NZ Writing 2018

Room 6 has been involved in 'Get NZ writing' which is an initiative from Warehouse Stationary. They have linked classrooms across NZ with a buddy class. Each class has been tasked to write a series of sentences exploring the use of metaphors and descriptive language.

We were buddied up with an unknown school in the North Island. We had to describe our class, community and city in a super creative ways like: sharing our favourite six words, where we live and what's around us, create an eight letter word using brail, write a found poem using words from the newspaper, share classroom talents and create postcards using individual metaphors. We had so much fun waggling our ears, rolling our tongues, licking our elbows and crossing our eyes. We focused on a famous poet called Iain Sharp learning about 'The Art of A Metaphor' We will keep in touch with our buddy class via our class newsletter blog and email address.
