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 read back my writing.

"I am good at drawing the pictures.  Some of the words are hard to write.  Mrs Wyatt helps me to write."

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

 "I can find the letter for the card.  I make the sounds of the letters.  No one helped me do it.  I felt good when I finished."

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

"I am good at writing my numbers."
