The Year 5/6 Writing Extension class is underway! The group has voted on its name so… The Kenakena Rocking Writers it is J
This will be the place to come to view examples of the children’s work and events they are involved in.
The aims of this group are:
  • Provide an opportunity for children to talk with an author and gain valuable insight into the writing process.
  • Give children experience writing a variety of genre.
  • Children adapt their writing to suit a purpose.
  • Encourage an attitude of persistence to revisit writing to make improvements using thinking tools.
  • Extend children’s vocabulary.
  • Guide children through the entire process of producing a quality finished piece of writing to be published and shared with others.

Congratulations to Ella, Vienna, Tara, Isaac and Lily. They are part of this group and have been selected to represent Kenakena School in the NZ Post Book Quiz early in term 2. They have a busy time ahead of them preparing for the quiz as there are 20 books involved! Good luck – happy reading!
