Term 2 Highlights!

WALT: record what we have been learning about this term, including our thoughts and feelings


This term I felt happy because we did lots of fun things this term. We did football/netball and going on the netbook, it is good fun.The thing I liked the most is using my netbook because we can do math,writing reading,and we learn more things.

This term we learnt about making movies. I liked filming our movie. It was about a boy who practiced to get better at Rugby. My part was one of the team members.

I also liked learning how to play football. I learnt how to play in a team, pass the ball, and score a goal. I also learnt how to dribble the ball.

How do you make a Tapa Cloth?


Creating the Design

Firstly, we had to sketch shells for a practice.Then we chose the best one to use. I thought my sketching was good.

Transferring Design

Secondly, we had to transfer the best shell to cardboard with pencil. When we had sketched the main design we added a border as well. Then we had to do the out line with black vivid.

Scrunching the cardboard

Next we had to scrunch the paper. We had to do it about 30 times. The paper felt smooth and soft, like a cloth when we had finished.

Adding Colour

Finally, I had  fun coloring in with brown and black pastels. Also we had to do it nice. I had fun doing the Tapa cloth.
