Ormaru Creek

Last week we walked to Ormaru Creek. First we sat on the pathway and sketched what we saw with a pencil and I saw beautiful trees, flax bushes, ducks and eels. Then we got in a line of people that finished sketching and went back to class and sat on the mat waiting for our teacher to give instructions.





Then we got into partners and painted the bank, creek and the sky, it was so much fun! After that it was morning tea time. When the paintings were dry we got to add detail with crayon. Then we out lined it with black crayon. Finally we painted the other bank on the other side and then we were finished.
