We are so proud of the art we have created in Room 1617.
We wrote letters to the Hastings Art Gallery and the artist that inspired our art work, Jacob Scott. We were privileged to have these special people visit The Parkvale Art Exhibition with Room 1617 children explained how all our art tells a unique story of 'Us'.

Dear Elham
Do you want to come to our art exhibition? It is at 8am in the
morning until 5pm at night. On Tuesday and Wednesday and on Thursday and on
Friday in September. On the 15th of September to the 18th it will
open up.I enjoyed going around Hastings to find bits of art but not just any kind of art . My favourite was the water fountain because it is made by Jacob Scott he is the best artist of all. He makes art
that tells stories. We are making a composition and there is lots
of weaving on it.There is clay and pictures and flax on my piece)
of art. Please come to our art exhibition

Dear Elham
We are holding an art exhibition at Parkvale School between Tuesday the
15 September and Friday the 18 September.
8am each morning it opens until 5pm at night it closes.
We have been learning about Jacob Scott. All of his art tells a story
and all his art made of metal.
We are making art about ourselves. It is made out of clay, paint, paper and flax and all our relations on
it.
I liked the fish trap on display because it was made of shells and because what ever direction you looked at you always see something
different. The fish trap told the story of how the Kiribati people catch
their fish.
Can you come pretty please with a hot chocolate with marshmallows on
top.
Yours sincerely
James

Hello my name is Katie. We are having a Art Exhibition on the 15 of September
and it closes on the of 18th September.We are learning about weaving and Maori symbols. Our art tells a story too. We are learning to use clay and paint and harakeke to tell a story. Chris Charteris made
the fish trap it looked like a sting ray made out of shells. I like it
because it can keep fish fresh.It is special because it tells a story about how people feed themselves. Please come to our art Exhibition.
Yours sincerely
Katie

Dear Elham
We are going to have an art exhibition and we want to know if you can
come. Our Art exhibition is on Tuesday the 15 of September to Friday the
18 of September . Our exhibition opens at 8am and concludes at 5pm.
My favourite part at your exhibition is the spider by Chris Charteris
because it looks impossible to make and how it tells the Kiribati legend of how
Earth was made. Thank you for showing us around the gallery.
We learnt about Jacob Scott and how his art tells a story .We told
the story of us with our art. Our art has some of our own symbols and
designs . Our shapes are made out of air dry clay .We Placed our art on
harakeke (flax ) which we weaved .It is hard to weave especially when you have not practiced for a long time .Our WALT (We are learning to) was to
have a unique composition in our art. We made our own
designs and some Maori symbols. We really want you to come and
see our art.
Yours sincerely

On Tuesday 15 September to Friday 18 September we are going to have a
art exhibition! It will be open 8am to 5pm daily. Its on Howard Street Hastings
at Parkvale School in our hall.
At the gallery my favourite piece of art was Te Ma the Fish Trap made by
Chris Charteris because when the fish swim inside the trap the trap shuts right
away.
I loved going on the art trail trip and please come to the art exhibition
at our school to see our art.
Room 1617 have been learning about Jacob Scott’s work. We hope to see
you at the art exhibition. We have been making some harakeke mats and some flax
flowers and we are also making some Maori shapes to put onto our woven mats
with unique pieces of art that tell my story.
Yours sincerely

Dear Elham
Parkvale School is planning an art exhibition at the school hall between
Tuesday 15 September and Friday 18 September. It will be open from 8am each
morning until 5pm at night.
Chris Charteris art inspired me. My favourite piece of art was the fish
net because the shape was exquisite.
I remembered the fish trap was to catch fish. They would nibble, nibble,
nibble right through the front of the centre of the huge fish net.
Our class joined 3 pieces of art together to make a unique composition
about ourselves. Our class got really untidy while we were weaving our
background with real flax!
We would be really, really, really, really happy if you could come to
our art exhibition to see our wonderful art.
