Visiting the art gallery

On Friday the Year 5’s went to the Auckland Art Gallery for our trip.  We were going to be looking at different sculptures and art work. I was really excited because it would be my first time going. We went on the bus, it was really loud cause everyone was shouting.  I was in charge of taking photos using one of the iPads.

When we got there we had to wait until 10 o’clock because that was when the Gallery opened.  We heard a bell that meant the Gallery was now open.  The door to go in kept spinning around and around, we had to make sure we kept walking forward when we hopped in the door.  We were meet by lots of ladies that were going to show us around.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

After we got into our groups we were given a task to do.  Our task was to find a picture with 4 people in it. Once we found it we had to draw the picture. This was lots of fun. When we had finished drawing the picture we were allowed to draw our own design.  We walked around the Gallery to the Lego area. We were making things with the lego. We could pull stuff off the lego statue and use it to build things. Chyrus built a dog and a chair,  he stuck it on top of the building that someone else built.

We heard a big bell that rang to reminded us what time it was. I was happy it was lunchtime. All of the groups went outside to eat our lunch. I was so hungry I couldn’t wait to eat it all. After we ate our lunch we went to the fountain, it was so hot that I dipped my head in it so I could be cold. It was cool we even got to climb a big as tree it was so easy to climb. For  our last activity we went back to the art gallery and into this art room we had to draw what we did in the holidays.  They gave us a piece of paper with a jar on it, we had to cut out the jar then draw all the activities we did in the holidays. I drew about Eggs Day Out, on my picture I had a helicopter dropping easter eggs from it.. After that I painted my picture and we had to give it to Mrs Jacobsen.

The best part of the day was when I got to paint and draw my own pictures.  I would go back to the Art Gallery again because I really enjoyed it.
