This week the children of Kōwhai have done a reading and writing activity based on the book Aroha's Way by Craig Phillips.

This book is about a girl called Aroha who is navigating the ups and downs of life. It talks about how sometimes life doesn't go how you want it to and you can feel unsure and alone and goes on to talk about the ways that Aroha makes herself happy and the things she does when she is happy. 

We got the children to write a short excerpt in the style the book was written, but applying it to themselves. 

Below are a few examples of how the children interpreted the story inputting themselves.
