Rock Sculpture!

Hi everyone,

Dave (my teacher) said that we need clothes that we could get wet in and suitable footwear. He didn't tell us what we were going to do or where we were going. I thought it was something to do with water but i didn't think we were going to sculpt anything!

On Tuesday the 9th of Feb Room 2 walked down to the Maitai River by the Nile Street bridge. We didn't know what we were doing there. Dave said we were going to build a sculpture, a circle made out of stones in the river. Dave looped a long skipping rope around a stick and pulled it around the stick to  mark out where the circle would be.

As someone pulled the rope around children put down rocks and pebbles at the end of it. The circle looked awesome even though we had just started. We kept adding rocks until it was 9-10 inches high.

Halfway though the process of building it I dropped a rock on my finger. The rock had ripped some of the skin off and it was bleeding a bit but it wasn't till later you could see all the bruising and it was really really swollen. It was bad luck because it stopped me helping a lot more than I was.  Continuing the bad luck, when we up on the Nile Street bridge somehow I grazed my back!!!

The stone circle we had made looked awesome once we had finished!!!!!!

See ya! Ella (with the sore finger heha).
