On Wednesday 10 April Rooms 7 and 8 went to
the Art Gallery and Toitu on a bus trip. Room 7 went to the art gallery first
and Room 8 went to Toitu. At Toitu we discussed what life was like in early New
Zealand and what it was like to travel on a boat for four months from the other
side of the world. We watched a slideshow about what Dunedin looked like when
it was first settled and then we went on a treasure hunt to find out
interesting facts about the gold rush days. At the Art Gallery we watched a
movie about life for the Chinese settlers in the gold rush days and we
discussed some of the art works in the gallery about gold. Finally we created a
wonderful mural about the gold rush for our classroom wall. Some examples of
our work have been posted on the Art Gallery’s website. It was a very enjoyable
day!
