NZ Writes Postcards

We have been lucky enough to have taken part in a New Zealand wide writing activity, whereby children have written a metaphor about themselves onto a postcard which will be sent this Friday to another school in New Zealand!  The school we have been paired with is situated in Nelson, so we hope the children there enjoy reading them as much as we enjoyed writing them!  We look forward to receiving theirs!
