Piwakawaka visits their big buddies!

We are working with some children from Waikowhai Intermediate School to help improve our writing.  We have great fun with lots of learning on the way.  Today we were lucky enough to visit Waikowhai Intermediate with our big buddies.  They came and picked us up from school, and we walked down together.  We got to play on TWO playgrounds, have a special morning tea and read books with our buddies.  During this time we were talking, talking, talking and building relationships.  All of this is a great motivation for our writing as well as a chance to build some important friendships.

    Hello to all our Waikowhai Intermediate buddies.
    We have such a great time visiting you on Thursday. We wrote some sentences about what we loved doing and how we felt. We have been trying to use 'WOW' words in our writing. We are also in the middle of writing a big book about our visit with you. We can't wait to share that with you.
    Here are some of our sentences:
    I loved playing basketball, I jumped so high and the ball went it in.
    I went so high on the swing, I nearly touched the sky.
    I was scared to go on the pole, but my buddy helped me and I did it.
    I zoomed down the slide, I loved it.
    We could see the sky tower, it was standing straight like a soldier.

    We have lots more to share with you.
    Have a great week.
    Love Piwakawaka

  5. Hi Devonte,
    It is Francis and I liked when you guys came over to our school and I also was surprised of how fast you were able to rap. Next time I was hoping if you could rap in front of my class because my teacher was so amused when I told her that you were able to rap as fast as Flash. I was wondering if you wanted to come back?
    Yours Sincerely Francis
