Celebration Night - the Choir

The choir sang beautifully at the opening of Celebration Night.

May we play with clay today?

Chloe-Mae's clay fish

Bella's clay fish

First we had a Play Clay Day where we played and experimented with clay.  The next day we made a fish out of clay.  Now they must be left to dry out for three weeks before they are ready to be fired in the kiln.  The next stage will be to paint them in creative colours like the fish in the Go Fish Go book that motivated us in the first place.

Stingray Bay gave us an awesome view of the fish and stingrays underwater.

We could imagine what it would feel like  swimming underwater in the shark tunnel.

We measured up well against the sharks.
