In the amazing weekend me and my family zoomed in our small dingy. Dad drove. We saw a big slimy eel under the boat. It had scary looking eyes. We stopped at each launch for the boats. Tayne and Mum sat at the front of the boat because... it might tip and we would all fall out. We had a picnic  at the lovely bush. It had nice smells and colour. I had three crackers and an apple. I got in the boat and zoomed off into the deep blue sea. All the waves made us jump out of the seats. We didn't do much!

The Suter Art Gallery By Matilda

On a heart warming Monday morning the bouncing children of Room 7 rode in their parent's shining cars to go to the Suter Art Gallery, which is in the flower filled Queen's Gardens.

After a scrumptious morning tea we strotted off to the gallery. We flew into the art filled, dimly lit, impressive Gallery . Then we were free to go and gaze or admire the patterns on the inspiring work. Like humans, they had a neck, arms, legs, bellies and they had another thing in common- they were all different sizes, shapes and has all different senses of humour.

The most exciting part of the day had arrived. Ester hurled the clay like a shot putter champion, so we moulded St Patrick's Star, then we pinched the chin, arm
s, legs an head. Soon, we bombed the sticky, oozy, bumpy hair on.

What an inspiring day.

Suter Art Gallery By Toby

On a sunny Monday morning the happy children of Room 7 sped off to the Suter Art Gallery, which is set in the excellent Queen's Gardens.

After a yummy morning tea we strode off to the Gallery to view he interesting Maori Pottery Models made of smooth clay.

We followed Ester into an art filled Gallery. After introducing the exhibition, Ester let us have a wander round to view the best pottery we liked. Like humans, all the pottery had a neck, or a belly, or legs or arms, also like humans they had different shapes and sizes.

The most exciting moment of our trip was when we strode into the modelling room. First we moulded St Patricks Star. Afterwards we shaped the head and pinched the legs and the arms. Finally we pushed the head on. The hair was slimy like long skinny worms.

What an exciting day.

Suter Art Gallery

By Jordy

On a shining Monday, the excited, giggling children sped off to the beautiful, flowery Queen’s Garden. We had a delicious morning tea. Afterwards we sat down quietly on the smooth, stone, comfortable seat by the Art Gallery.

We followed Ester into the dimly lit Art Gallery filled with interesting, wonderful models. After introducing the names of the artists we admired the exhibition. Like humans the designs had a neck, arms, legs and bellies.

The most exciting part of the trip was when we strode into the teency tiny modelling room and Ester hurled out the brown sticky clay at us, the modelled the sticky clay into St Patricks Star. Next we shaped it into a Maori character sitting down,

What a heart warming time we had at the Suter Art Gallery.   

Suter Art Gallery By Claudia

On a sunny Monday morning the extremely excited class Room 7 raced off to the Suter Art Gallery.

After a delicious morning tea we quietly jogged off to the Art Gallery to view the very interesting Maori Pottery models made of very smooth clay.

We followed Ester into the impressive art filled room full of amazing Maori pottery sculptures! After introducing the artist's names we were allowed to gaze around to find our favourite art sculpture! Like humans, all of the pots have a neck, arms, legs, bellies. Also like humans, they are all different shapes and patterns.

The most exciting time of all we get scrambled into a tiny room. Ester chucked the slimy clay to each of us. Next we modelled St Patrick Star. We pinched  the arms and legs, patted on the hair and sculpted it to model it to sit down.

What an awesome time.

My Birthday- By Nathan

For my birthday, I got an electronic drum kit and some drum sticks and in the morning I got hubba bubba farting goo and a bike chain.  I am going to invite some friends to come ten pin bowling and mini golf. The exciting part was having a sleep over on Grandads boat. We anchored out in front of Rabbit Island and put out fishing lines. When we hauled them in we got 6 brim. Nan and Mum cooked them for tea. I watched Sticky TV and I was on it because I'm a club member.

Dad in Tanzania

My Dad is in Tanzania staying with Grandad and Rose. Grandad has been working over there and he is coming home for ever soon. He is coming to live in his house in Nelson. Dad has gone to visit him for a long time. Dad took some pens, crayons and some felts and he gave them to the children at a school. Dad has been on a safari and he saw a warthog. It looks like pig.

Dad has sent 3 photos and they took ages to send.
