Pataka Visits this week

H Paremata Year 3 and 4 students,

I am sure everyone is looking forward to our class trips to Pataka Museum in Porirua this week! Please remember to wear a hat, good walking shoes and sunblock, to bring a raincoat in case of rain, and to make sure you have a packed lunch and full bottle of water. Before we leave Paremata School you'll need to pop your sketching book and a pencil into your school bag as well as there will be opportunities to draw after you have viewed some wonderful and inspiring artworks. If you are catching the 9 am train (Rooms 11 and 9) you'll need to get to school nice and early as you'll start walking to the station at about 8:45/ 8:50 am. Here is a link to some of the exhibitions on at Pataka that we can look at while we are there. There is even an art show about chocolate on the second page! Pataka Exhibitions
