Write Club: Mystery Box

As a treat we had a mystery box in for our Writers Club at lunchtime.

In the box, a variety of objects that students could use to weave a story. We pulled them out one by one and discussed ideas, then students got to choose three objects and they could write a story about them.

In true writers club style, everyone got a coloured "dot" to vote on which story they liked the best and the winner got a lolly pack.

Street Library Update

The completed street library is a bit of a monster, we wanted to be able to move it around the school. So the base actually has bricks in it to keep it stable and lockable castors.

We had a design competition during the CBCA "book week" celebration and worked with the Visual Communication teacher to write up a design brief so she could use it as a task in class. If you want a copy of the entry form, just get in touch via twitter @konstantkaos.

We ended up getting about 15 entries which I thought was good given everything else that was going on in the school at the time.

 

The winning designs were two year 10 girls and they have worked together to morph their designs together for a final design.

I can't wait to see what they end up doing!
