Neighbourhood Maps

In Week 2 we drew a neighbourhood map that shows a place/area that we feel connected to.  It could be a map of a town we live in or used to live in, our school, marae, holiday spot... etc
As part of our writing programme this term we are going to have some for 'free writing' which means we can write a poem, a short story, a recipe, some song lyrics... anything and everything.  There are times however where some of the children in Room 10 get writers block ;)  By having a neighbourhood map, we can look at the places we have drawn and think about some memories we may have that we can write about.  We have ownership.
The pictures below show how enthusiastic we were in drawing our maps.
