Our Trip to New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Sculpture Tour


Today we are going to NZSO. First we started to get ready for the concert, then we lined up to get on the bus and about 40 minutes later we got to the Michael Fowler Centre. We had morning tea, after that we went to sit down in our seats and listen to the music. Some people weren't fans of it and other people loved it. We listened to Strauss, Vivaldi, a sea shanty by Malcolm Arnold and music to accompany the reading of Margaret Mahy's "Lion in the Meadow." There was a man dressed in an odd costume. He told us what the music was about which was nature and seasons. Then everyone had lunch. After that we had a look at the sculptures because everyone had to sketch at least one. All the sketches looked really good. Some people tried to find eggs for a Whittakers treasure hunt. I saw 5 eggs. Then we got back on the bus and got back to school. by Amy
