Get NZ Writing

We were really excited to receive our box from the School Kit people. The first thing we did was open it but the teacher did not let us open the little yellow tin.
We voted and wrote a colour poem sd s class. We only had to do this twice before the colour BLUE was chosen. It was quite pathetic the first time we completed the poem but we went back and each reworked our lines adding more adjectives. We were working on one shared document which was very interesting

When we got to open the little tin it was really exciting. We all looked carefully at all the items and with a partner, we walked around and wrote words about the objects, descriptions, what it felt like, made us think of etc. Then we each choose one item to write our poem about for the postcard. Some of us used Note, ly and some of us just used post-it notes. We could choose which one we felt comfortable with 

Once we had written our poems we were allowed to colour in the other side. When everyone was finished we put it together to see what it said. Some people worked on completing the Yellow Poster that goes with everything. We have got some pamphlets about where we live and things that people can do here that we are also putting in the courier bag. We plan to add a piece of greenstone and some other treats. It will be really exciting when we receive our courier package from our sister school.
