50-100 Words Max!!!

Check out our creative Writing on Shantytown. We needed to choose either 50 or 100 words and write about something to do our Shantytown visit (it could be a little bit imaginative, or really imaginative!)

shantytown

This week we visited Shantytown to learn about Pounamu. We were able to look at the different types and learnt about the history of Maori on the coast.
We pretended to be early traders and needed to build huts in the bush on our way to Canterbury. We also made snares to try and catch Kai. Seriously it was an awesome day! Check out the comments from Room 9 students...
