Poetry Slam - Potential Professional Poets

Last week we had our first ever Ako Hiko poetry slam. We had around 30 entries and while I don't want to pick any winners, I thought I'd share some of the poems here. The highlights for me were seeing students work their way through the resources to have a go at new forms of poems independently and seeing students commenting on each other's poems. This included across school commenting and some comments from Kaitaia!

Thank you to all the teachers who supported their students. I think it is so important to keep providing new opportunities like this for our learners. And what an amazing way to get creative! The slide deck will stay on the Ako Hiko site over the holidays if you still want to have a go.

Poetry Slam!

To celebrate the end of Term 2 let's get creative and write some poems. Have a look at these slides for the instructions and some inspiration...

Blogger of the Week

Kia ora everyone!

Well done to all those who attended Student Toolkits online last week. I've been reading all your blog posts and it sounds like you've all learnt heaps of new skills!

I really like Daniel's WordCloud art. I've decided to use it (with his permission) to celebrate a 'Blogger of the Week!'

Every week I'll pick a quality blog post from an Ako Hiko blogger and that person will be the 'Blogger of the Week.' 

BUT! I won't announce the blogger of the week, instead I will hide Daniel's Ako Hiko manu (bird) in a comment on that blog. First person to see the manu will get a shout out on this blog along with the 'Blogger of the Week!'
