Creative Writing with Mrs McNally


As a class Kahikatea have been crafting some creative writing. They have been discussing that there are two kinds of writers; the ones who worry a lot and don’t write much and those who puke and write pages and pages without stopping to catch a breath. Sometimes we are one kind of writer one day and another the next and that is okay. The thing about writing Kahikatea discovered is that sometimes you need to write some rubbish in order to get some great ideas.
So Kahikatea started by practising the art of writing puke, not worrying about what they wrote but just letting the ideas flow. They did this by doing some three minute brainstorms on ‘chewing gum’ and ‘eggs’.
Next through the context of ‘snot’ they wrote similes and metaphors about all kinds of ‘snot’ experiences. Very gross indeed but nonetheless incredibly creative. Take a look at some of the wonderful ideas Kahikatea children wrote about ‘Snot’. Be prepared to be disgusted.
 
1     You have a cold-What colour is your snot. Compare it to something else, create a simile.
