Here is our NZ writing buddy school work...

Massive thanks to our buddy school Rm7 Kapanui School, Wellington, for their awesome similes and metaphors. We really enjoyed reading them and checking out your fun info on the Found Sheet.

Check out the video we made of us reading your similes/metaphors.

Community Garden visit

We were very lucky to visit the Owairaka Park Community Gardens on Friday to help weed, clean and build to our hearts content. Big thank you to Oisin's mum Heather who organised and ran it all. We absolutely loved it. 

Looking forward to the next visit!!

Get Writing NZ

This term we have been lucky enough to take part in the Get Writing NZ initiative where we buddy up with another school in NZ and share our awesome writing.

We worked over the last couple of weeks filling in the Found Sheet with lots of cool information about us and about Owairaka School and the students wrote a simile/metaphor poem about them selves (check out their blogs to see the full poem). They picked their favourite line and wrote it on the back of a postcard which makes up a jigsaw picture. Today we sent our work off and are now eagerly awaiting our buddy schools parcel in response.

The school that is our buddy class is Kapanui School in Wellington (check out the link to their school site)
