I am learning about rhyming words.

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 more than one idea related to the topic.

"It is tricky to sound some of the letters.  It is tricky to spell.  I love spelling the teacher word.  Mrs Wyatt helps me to do my writing."

I am learning to use chunking to decode new words.

 "I was finding the words, and then I got it right.  It was tricky because I was trying to find it on the board. I did it all by myself."
