Delaware Bay

The wreck of the Delaware












Room 14 visited the Suter Art Gallery to view Sally Burton's exhibition depicting the historic story of the wreck of the sailing ship 'Delaware'. The interactive display and the story captured the imaginations of every child.

The children created their own art works using black and white pastels to feature two of the main people involved, Huria and Hemi Matenga.
















We retold the story as a class shared activity in written expression.

There was high interest in actually visiting what is now known as Delaware Bay to experience the area of the wreck, and to locate the iwi burial site at the end of the spit.
