Stu Duval - the storyteller and artist came to school and told us stories and showed us how easy it is to draw - he uses numbers and letters of the alphabet to create shapes.

Today Stu showed us how to draw. His drawing looked so good. He showed everyone.

Yesterday we went to Putikitiki. We practised for Cross    

Country. It was tiring.

I liked Cross Country.

Putikitki was big to run around.

I was puffed !

Our Visit to the Cosmo Dome at the Museum.

The Cosmo Dome was like an igloo - it was a tent shaped like a moon.

We went inside, then we saw the sky and the sun.

After the sun went down we saw all the stars. 

It was hard to see Matariki.
Ronnie, the astronomer, made the stars come closer so we could see them.
There were hundreds of stars around Matariki.

We looked at the planet Saturn.

We went inside a space station where everything floated around.

It was so interesting - it was amazing !
