Get NZ Writing - Room 26


Get NZ Writing - Room 26 



A few weeks ago our Get NZ Writing activity kit arrived. We were paired with another school in NZ - Ngaio School in Wellington. 

We each completed a postcard with some awesome poetry inspired by the book - If I was a Banana, written by Alexandra Tylee. The postcards fitted together to make the sentence - 'Talk to people who help you see the world differently.'

We also filled out a large poster with interesting things about Havelock North Primary and Room 26.

We have just received Ngaio School Room 10's postcards and poster. It has been great to find out about another class and to share in this fun experience together.

Here are some pictures of our postcards, writing and poster.
