Yesterday, Ms Mac's literacy group decided to use their natural surrounds to gain some inspiration for their poetry writing. What better place to be inspired by than the local wetlands....right opposite our college. Ms Vanita Gera and classroom helper parent Siva, enjoyed the sojourn with the students. The students had a fantastically productive time noting down that which they could see, hear, feel and smell; using figurative language to describe them. Over the next week, students will be able to use these observational notes to inspire their free verse poetry writing. Students also collected rubbish that they found along the way, and of their own accord, disposing it in the bins back at school. Congratulations to our students on their community-mindedness!
