Waikanae Art Gallery

Proposed Art Trip
Due to parent interviews being on Tuesday afternoon there will be no Waikanae Library visit. I have, however, managed to arrange an alternative. Many school events have an associated cost that we are aware can be difficult for some families. This is another event your child can be involved in for FREE, has some valuable educational benefits and can be fun for all our Room 4 children. No permission slip is required as it is a local venue. Last week we were able to do a flying visit to the art gallery on our way to the public library. Afterwards I asked who would like to go again and spend more time there. Nearly every child put up their hand. I have been able to organise with the gallery for us to do a proper visit on Monday afternoon. . However it is conditional on several things.
The first is the (unpredictable) weather and the second is having a parent who would join us to help supervise.

The aim of the visit is to:
Observe the range of artworks on display.
Describe the features of some of the works and the feelings they might provoke.
Do some sketches of our own, a response to the artwork we observe.

Sooooooo…….
If you are available to go on the trip with us, please email me back so I know I have a helper.
Ask your child to bring any Waikanae Public Library books back on MONDAY so we can drop them into the library while we are down at Mahara Place.
Have a great weekend,
Peter
