seriously cool sculptures!

We had a visit to a very cool art gallery at the Historic Village here in Tauranga. It not only had sculptures that where done by the artists there, but there were also mosaics and other interesting works of art. I enjoyed studying them all closely and would live to go back soon with my friends.

Plane building!

There has been lots of exciting things happening at the centre for me in the last few weeks. A new swan plant was brought into the centre that had a huge caterpillar, so I have enjoyed studying it closely. I has turned into a Chrysalis in front of our eyes! 
I have also been making a plane in woodwork. I have been following a blueprint, sawing, sanding and chiseling. 


Measuring and sawing using the vice. 


Tracing the template into the wood.
