Te Tuhi Art Gallery Trip

On Thursday the 8th of March, Room 12 visited Te Tuhi Art Gallery. We looked and touched a large, colourful sculpture called Atarangi II by Auckland based artist Michael Parekowhai. We also got to paint our very own colour wheels, using primary, secondary and tertiary colours.

On Wednesday 29 February room 12 and 14 went on a school trip to Birkenhead leisure centre for a school trip.We did archery kayaking and rock climbing in rock climbing you had to put your harness on and then get your parent helper to help you get up.

In archery you had to line up and take turns shooting  the arrow at the target.

and finally in kayaking you got a partner to help you get tour kayak in the water.

Firstly after we got of the bus,we ate morning-tea and I had a hot cross bun.After eating morning-tea, Owen [our instructor],took us to a bush with a trail and then suddenly we went off track then Owen stopped. After that we built a shelter.Then we walked to this place where there were lots and lots of rock-walls and I called the easy one heaven and the hard one was hell!!!
