On Thursday 4 April Kowhai Class sent away an exciting package to our buddy class, Room 9 Paerata school near Pukekohe. The package consisted of poetry postcards that when put together make a up a mystery jigsaw, a class poster, a class colour poem, information about our school and our district, and some Easter treats! The poems were about some items in a special tin, e.g an ancient key, a compass, a tiny ship in a bottle. We had to find out about the item, choose some wonderful describing words, and then use the dictionary, thesaurus, google translate, and an anagram maker to discover more fabulous words. In return, we were very excited to receive a similar package from Paerata school. We loved finding out about each other's lives and schools. Now we are writing stories about some of the items in the tin and we will send them to our buddy class and stay in touch with them this year.
