After that they showed us the showroom that had heaps of clay designs we all looked around in the showroom at the clay then we get to make our own clay but we made clay pigs we rolled it up into a ball same size as a ping pong ball.
next we mad a round hole in the middle like a bowl.
We also add the legs the snout and the tail and tusk if we want to add tusks when we all were done we had lunch and got to play we all got our bags and said thank you.
we were going to go for a swim at the swimming hole but we were late it was shallow so we jumped in the pool and had a swim.
The pool was cold when we first jumped in but manuka came and warmed up the pool.
We all jumped out and went in class and it was time for hometime here is some pictures at fern flat pottery.

Kia ora Totara class,
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky to go on a trip to visit our very talented locals. I really like the Fern Flat pottery and see it all over New Zealand being sold in shops. I can not wait to see your pigs. Is there any of you that might like to take up pottery? Now that your school has its own kiln you can make some great creative pottery of your own.
I am looking forward to reading more of your exciting posts.

Kia ora Totara class. It is super to see you getting out there, making and creating. Did you know that Oruaiti is famous for creativity and originality. There was a man called Elwyn Richardson who taught at your school and did alot of art. I really like the picture of you all concentrating so hard on what you are doing. Thanks for being the writer Colin Oruaiti is famous link
