Library and Information Week: Scrambled Poetry

I'm always on the lookout for activities for Write Club to do that are a bit different and hands on.

So I copied some magnetic poetry words onto coloured paper and make some offline kits for students to play with during "Library and Information Week".

It did take me an evening of cutting out the words for the packs, but we made 6 different coloured kits for lunchtime activities.

It was a great activity, and the kids took photo's of what they had created so that they could go away and do some more writing from the inspiration.
