The Get NZ Writing Challenge

Over the past few weeks, we have been participating in the Get NZ Writing challenge along with hundreds of classes across NZ. We had 32 postcards and a poster to complete. When they were completed we exchanged them with a class from Te Horo School in Wellington. We explore metaphors, writing some about ourselves and putting them into a poem.

Here are a couple of examples of our favourite metaphors.











We then picked our favourite line in the poem and wrote on the back of a blank card. On the other side there were parts of words that all get joined together to become a sentence. The other class was also going to do the same thing for us.

This is what our postcards looked like when they were all put together
We really enjoyed colouring in the postcards and putting the puzzle together.  We also thought filling out the poster was heaps of fun, even if it did take forever.  We tried really hard to make sure as many people as possible did something on our poster.

Our awesome finished poster
We can’t wait to get our parcel from Wellington and seeing their poster and poems.  It will be amazing!
