Tapa Design for the Art Exhibition

Whole Class Reflection – Art

Learning: “I learnt how to draw patterns.”   “I learnt to not put too much dye on the cotton bud.”.  “I learnt about tapa from Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.”

Tricky: “Drawing some patterns was tricky.”  “The dying – had to be very careful.” “Keeping the vivid on the pencil lines.”

Proud: “The dye looked beautiful and I was proud of that.”   “I was proud of my patterns.”

Help: “I needed help to dye some parts of the panels, drawing over the pencil lines with vivid, putting the right cotton bud in the right container, knowing about different patterns.”

Next: “I want to learn more patterns.”   “I want to know more about the Cook Islands, Tonga and tapa.”  “I want to use vivids more in the classroom.”  “I want to learn more about drawing.”

I am learning to explain what my picture is about in my own words.

"I like to draw the picture.  Mrs Wyatt helps me."

I am learning to identify a sentence, for eg, the beginning with capital letters, and the end with full stops.

 "I am putting the letter on there.  It was easy. Alex helped me.  I felt good when I finished."

Lots of fun playing Kiwiball

"I can catch the ball and roll it fast."

I am learning to recognise, read and write numbers 1-10 correctly.

"I can write the numbers."

Building with Bunnings

"I made a truck.  I made it look like a car, and I make it with wheels and wood, glue and nails.  I have nails on my wheels."

I am learning to read in the correct direction using one to one matching and return sweep

In Reading we have been learning lots of things to help 

us to work out new letter sounds and words.
