Trip to Art Gallery and Library

On Friday 20 June we went on a trip to the Art Gallery in town and the public Library. We caught a bus down there. When we got there we went to the Library first where one of the Librians took us on a tour of the Library and then shared some books with us. It was cool getting to look at some new books and to see how different parts of the Library works. Then we had morning tea on the grass area beside the Art Galley. After morning tea we got to go to the Art Gallery. We went upstairs and looked at one of the sculptures that was made out of a chair. It looked cool. After we had talked about a few of the different pieces of art we got to go into the classroom and create our own sculpture out of spoons and forks. That bit was really cool. Then we got to draw 2 pictures, one drawing spoons and forks and the other was drawing the shadows of the spoon when we held it above the piece of paper. We got to bring them back to school with us to finish them. Our favourite part was when we got to walk through Big Red! It was kind of scary, but also really cool. It was a great day. Thanks to the people at the Library and the Art Gallery for showing us around.
