Kindle 2 Visit the Art Gallery

We were very excited about our trip to the Art Gallery today. Mrs Dakers talked to us about looking with our eyes not our hands, walking in the Art Gallery and using inside voices. We had an upside down day because reading was in the morning , play time was at healthy food snack time and lunchtime was at playtime!! We had 5 parent helpers who were fabulous.

Crossing the road to catch the bus. We stopped, an adult pushed the button, we waited for the green man and checked to see that the cars had stopped then we crossed the road with our adult helpers.

 Here is the bus waiting to take us to the Art Gallery.

 We got onto the bus and said hello to the bus driver.

 Here we are on the bus. For some of us this was the best part of the trip! It was very exciting.

 We arrived at the Art Gallery.

Our newest class member dressed up to look like a lady in one of the portraits and we asked her questions about what she was doing and where she was going. Doesn't she look fantastic!

Mr Neumegen told us some interesting things about portraits.

Mr Neumegen read us a story called "When the Wind Changed." Look at the ugly face portrait behind him.

Here we are looking into the pool of reflection (well most of us). It was a little hard to resist putting our hands in and some of us wanted to go for a swim, but that will happen next week!

Mr Neumegen sang a song about a car and we joined in.

We watched an old movie about road safety.

 Here we are, ready to make our own portraits.

After we had made our art work we were allowed to play.

What a fun trip to the Art Gallery. Thanks parents and Mr Neumegen. If you want to see our portraits come and visit Kindle 2!
