Tapa designs with Mrs Trolle'

This week we have had Mrs Trolle' in our class to help us with our tapa cloths. We got to create our own designs and draw them onto A2 paper before going over it with vivid and painting it with Indian ink. Then we draped wet teabags over one side to give it a better effect. On the other side of the tapa, we did a contemporary side which included lots of bright colours.

Hockey skills

This week we have been doing hockey skills with Jackie. We have been learning how to dribble and how to do an accurate pass. Today we will be playing a game of hockey with Jackie on the field.

School Cross

This week our school placed a concrete cross sculpture in the front of the school next to the road. The cross is there to represent our schools catholic character. Keep an eye on it as you drive past over the next few days as more tiles get added. When its finished and you drive by at night you will see it lit up with lights.

Tongan Turtles

In Whio class lately we have been learning about Tonga. So we made turtles with a type of Tapa pattern which is traditional to Tongan people. We started by drawing our patterns in pencil then we coloured the small patterns in black marker pen then we did the big patterns in Indian Ink.
