Te Manawa

On Wednesday the 13th of May Room 15 and 13 all went on a huge bus to Te Manawa.  It was great fun at Palmerston North. There was a room full of Mirrors and motorbikes. We went scavenger hunting and then we had to go to the Library because it had started to rain.  I learnt to make a fish out of flax.

Te Manawa

Room 15 &13 went to Te Manawa  for a trip to learn about Maori weaving. I  made a fish with Room 15  It was so hard to do but we got  there in the end. I enjoyed  the library  beacause it is  so warm and it is so  peaceful and it is so quiet  in the library.  It was so cool  in  Te  Manawa.

Going to Junk and disorderly !!!

I (Ruby) was one of the lucky Room 15 people that got picked to go to "Junk and Disorderly".

We all raced off to the hall not knowing what we were in for !!

When we got there we did a few exercises like ... introducing ourselves and doing weird dances !

After that we got a choice,  either make musical instruments out of junk   or    make giant flying pigs !!! I thought I was creative so I chose to make a flying pig !

Us pig makers split into 2 groups and got 2 pieces of willow to tape on top of each other. When  there were lots of those our group started to make a frame for the pig . After the frame was done we covered it all by using PVA to glue white tissue paper on it then we let it dry over lunch. When we came back we covered one pig with lime green tissue paper and the other pig with hot pink . After that we put pink and purple spots on the green one and black squiggles on the pink one.

We were there the whole day so we did not get time to put the wings on but trust me it was AWESOME !!!

Junk and Disorderly

 On May the 20th I  found out that I was leaving to go to the hall in  about 10 minutes. I didn't know what for but I was still excited. I asked the teachers Mrs Martin and Mrs Trembath whether I was in trouble. They replied, "No you're going to do something fun!!!"

When we arrived in the hall, all we could hear was the other kids then we heard a loud sound. It was Rob and his loud horn. While we were there we made giant flying pigs -  they were HUGE!!!!!

My group's one was lime green with pink and purple spots. It was coming to the end of the days so everyone got told to pick up the rubbish and get into a circle.

The day was over. We all said thanks then headed back to the quiet classroom. 

Adding a photo

Mrs Trembath learnt how to add a photo yesterday - let's see if it works.

Yes it worked - thanks Lucy for your help. We should all be able to learn this now and make our blog site more interesting.

On Wednesday 13th May, Room 15 and Room 13 went to Te Manawa. We left on a bus at 9 30.              At Te Manawa we all made fish out of flax .                                                                                                  I liked the mirror room. There were so many mirrors. 

Awesome Te Manawa.

Raranga , Known as maori weaving. Hi I'm Mason , Room 15 /13 from Lytton Street School travelled to Te Manawa On Wednesday 13th of may.We went to learn how to weave a fish. Weaving  is not as easy as it looks,it is really hard.Even if you practice for a long time,you still struggle.

That's all I have to say.

the fishy flax fish

As our ears were open to find out what we are going to make were going to make a fish it seems so simple it terns out it was hard really hard we had to make sure it was right. It was wednesday the 13th of  May.Te Manawa   looks so different then the last time I was here.I thought to myself.

Now how you make a fish is you need to pinch a hole in the middle after a few more instructions we had finished and now I have finished the story.
