SUTER ART GALLERY

Room 11 went for a trip to the Suter Art Gallery. We saw an exhibition called 'Draw the Line'.
Esther talked about the different pictures and how the artist drew them.


We learnt how to do a slow sketch. We looked carefully at a piece of bendy wire then did a slow, careful sketch of it.



We looked closely at a special mannequin and then used different types of scribbles to draw it.




Luke was our special model. We drew Luke using a slow sketch.

A big thank you to Esther and all of the parents that came with us!



HOCKEY SKILLS

Today we had our first coaching session on Hockey skills. We learned to dribble the ball, tackle, pass and we played a game.
