Every term, each SPEC class teacher chooses a few pupils to do an extention class. You might ask what is an extention class - it is an opportunity rewarded to pupils who did exceptionally well in class and together with good behaviour, are rewarded with a merit.
Me and Melissa and about another 13 pupils from the visual Arts spec class got chosen.
What did we do?? We went to an Art Gallery that took us in for a two day class. In those classes we learned to scalpt with clay and interesting enough, liquid soap!
The outcome.... I made a green "orange" soap - which ofcourse - I gave to my Mother for Mother's Day ... she said it was the best gift I could ever give her, because it was made by me with lots and lots of love!!!
Was it worth it.... definately YES ... it was the best time I had in my time sofar with Tawa Intermediate. I just love art and all the possibilities you can do with it ....
It is really sad that I had such a great time but it might not be possible for other kids as well because of choices and decisions the government made with regard to intermediate spec teachers.... I was so glad and very relieved tonight when I saw on the news that the government is actually reconsidering and rethinking the issue.
I really would like to thank Ms Leary for making this possible for me ... I would remember it for a long time to come....
