“Ko Whangakopoikipiko ahau. Ko tenei taku pūrakau.”
“I am Whangakopikipiko. This is my story.”
“I am Whangakopikipiko. This is my story.”
Today is to be our final day with Des Hunt. It has been so busy, successful and rewarding. Our batteries are recharged after and extremely busy day yesterday. Most of our day was spent in final face to face interviews with Des and individual students. One of our students has started experimenting with illustrations to go with her work which is in the form of a sophisticated story book.
Most of the students had a final draft to go away with for their final edit before sending it to Des at some stage within the last two weeks of term.
For a finale, Des gave another one of his scientific, writing metaphor presentations. He was illustrating the element of suspense and surprise, particularly relating to the end of a story.
On behalf of Waiotahe Valley School I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Book Council, Des Hunt and the CORE Team for this invaluable experience. Our students have gained so much from this project.
