Yesterday we went to the Art Gallery of NSW by train. The first artwork we saw with our guide was called "From a distant land" and it was about a man who had received bad news in a letter. The second one we saw was the only war painting in the gallery. After that we went to the Royal Botanical Gardens and had recess there. Then we went to the waratah gallery and saw waratahs. Then we went to the succulent garden. After that we walked to the Opera House and saw some dancers and then we went home on the train.

Wollemi Pine
Yesterday I went on an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW and to the Botanical Gardens. First we walked to the train, then we got on the train then got off at St James Station. 3F and my class went to the Art Gallery of NSW while 4B and 2/5S went to the Botanical Gardens.

In the Art Gallery I saw a painting called Five Bell. It  is called Five Bell because when a sailor dies they ring the bell five times.

After we went to the Art Gallery 3F and 3/4W went to the Gardens. There was a sign that said Please Walk On The Grass. Smell The Roses, Hug the Trees etc. We saw the Wollemi pine.
