“This was a fantastic kit, just like last time. The students enjoyed the activities and were excited to send the kit to our buddy school. We especially loved the 'This is Just to Say...' poems. The lesson plans and resources were great - easy to follow and a fantastic way to scaffold and support some of my more reluctant writers. Thanks again for a wonderful writing experience.”
“My students loved the 'This is Just to Say' poem, it was definitely the highlight of the kit. They enjoyed sharing their stories and following the simple structure provided. The glasses were also lots of fun. Although we completed all the postcard poems, we did find this aspect a little tricky to get sounding quite 'right'.”
“This was not my favourite Get NZ Writing kit. It was more a geography kit than a writing kit and was difficult to follow the instructions. I much prefer the last two years over this one. The concept was interesting and the overall project was cool however, it was not as writing focused or engaging as previous kits we have used.”
“Thanks School kit for another great resource. My Y5/6 had fun learning where our buddy school was, then getting to travel from home to our buddy school finding funny city and street names.”
“My year 5 class loved this kit they wrote great poetry, loved researching NZ on Google Maps and interacting with another class from the South Island. Fantastic”
