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 write my idea in a sentence that makes sense.

"It is tricky to spell 'park'.  Isabelle helped me spell 'park'.  It is easy to write 'I'.  Mrs Wyatt helps me do my writing."

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

"I was putting the letter 'g' on the card.  It was easy to play.  I said my sounds to the letters. I did it all by myself."

I am learning the patterns for numbers 1-5 are recognised instantly.

"It was easy to do the counters right.  I was putting them to the side.  My teacher helped me."

My Birthday Collage Balloon

"My birthday is on the 7th of March."

Building with Bunnings

"I made a key holder.  I twisted the little handles in and painted it."

In Reading we have been learning lots of things to help 

us to work out new letter sounds and words.

"I liked it when she looked at her sister reading a book" Imogen said.
