Wellington City has come in for some legal attention from the custodians of the 'HollyWood' letters. A tongue in cheek exercise that celebrates the 'creative capital' or a feeble attempt at self promotion? Whatever your thoughts, this would make a nice starting point for the idea of 'Identity' for a primary level social studies class. The readers of the Dom Post have been quick to exercise their markers of Wellington here. Note that the Wellywood Sign Generator here leads to the Facebook Gallery which are less family friendly :-(
For Wellington in particular, this could be furthered by an examination of the public art related to the windy city tag, that Wellington probably (certainly?) deserves. Older children may also like to explore the many pieces of NZ creativity that we identify with Kaikoura, Methven, Taupo, Ohakune, Paeroa, Taihape, Tekapo, Te Puke.....
