Get NZ Writing Kit

Some of the writers in Kea Hub have been working on the Get NZ Writing Kit, where we write poems, find out fun facts and share them with another class in Aotearoa.

One of the activities was to learn what a metaphor was, then write some for Kea Hub then individual ones.

A metaphor is a literary term that compares two unlike objects to one another. A metaphor does not use like or as. In a metaphor one thing is said to be another. 

eg. The lake is a mirror.
