Tapa Designs

Tapa Designs
A tapa design comes from the pacific oceans. Many cultures use a tapa for special things like the Tongans , Samoa's and other many cultures. Some cultures make a tapa as a dress for some special things.


How to make a tapa design .Well to make a tapa design  we used brown paper bags instead of using white paper. Some of us done four squares and some just done one big design. Once we had finished looking up our pictures and drawing our patterns on to the brown bag we coloured it with a dark brown crayon ,a light brown crayon, a black crayon and a kind of golden yellow crayon. Once we finished colouring our tapa design we went to go and dye it .

We headed down to the dyeing table to dye our art work. The colour of the dye we used was the colour brown. We waited for the other three people to finish with the dye so that we can dye our work. We grabbed our tapa design and painted dye all over our art work once we finished we started to dab toilet paper on to our artwork to dry it. Once we finished we took a picture of it and it ended up looking like this.

Museum Trip

Museum Trip

On Tuesday the 28 all the year sevens  went on a trip to the museum. We all came to the street to get everything ready for the museum trip. Once we got our things ready we had to listen for our name to see which group we are going to be in. My name was called out and I was in group 5. Once the groups were sorted out we had to wait for Ms Pagget to write  our group number on our hand .

Once everything was sorted out we headed down to the bus. We were driving for like about 30 minutes or 20 minutes.We arrived  at the museum and headed down to the the kai room to have morning tea.

Once we finished eating our lunch we had to go back to the entrance room. We were given a pencil and paper that has questions on it .We had to do what the questions say’s.

The first place we went to was the Maori room.We had to look for flex and then copy it on to the paper.We had to look around so we can choose which flex we are going to draw. Once I drew my picture on to the paper I went around taking photos of interesting things.

Once we finish looking around we had to go to this part were it said when we go out of the Maori room we had to wash our hands .All of us went to wash our hands because we were going to the pacific area.

We headed down to the pacific area  to look at different kind of designs . We look at all the different kind of culture"s , pattern and once we found which one we liked we had to draw it on the piece of paper.


After we finish looking at the pacific area we went to the entrance room and had lunch.We all spent a long time eating our lunch.When we finish eating our lunch we went to the front of the museum to take  some pictures of the trees and other different things.


At the end of our day we played handball.Me and some of the girls from class 2,3 and 4 . We waited for the bus to come and pick us up . After a couple of minutes we just figured out that one of the groups were missing. We played a little longer until the team had finally arrived.We left and headed back to school.

Kiwi Sport Netball

                     Kiwi Sport Netball

Hi my name is katalina and i’m going to be introducing a game called Netball.
Netball is a fun and fit game.Netball is played mostly everywhere. Netball is played on the court or inside a hall.Now i’m going to be talking about how we played netball.

For a couple of weeks we have been doing netball.  On our first listen with Marilyn we had to learn how to defend our self when the ball is coming our way .Tamaai and Tyli had to show us an example for us to understand what she’s telling us to do.After they showed us we had to do it our self but with a partner. Once we finished trying to defend the ball we had to go back and sit on the ground to wait for our next extractions .

our next extractions we had to do is go into groups in five to have a challenge to see who would finished first.
In each group we had to have five people to play the game . Right after we got our teams together we sat down to listen what we had to do.

We had to pass the ball to somebody who isn't beside you , we had to pass it to somebody across you, and then  you do it all over again but to the same person you pass it to in the first round . ‘’Three, two , one go ‘’ we had a great start none of us drop the ball . We  past it to the same person four times and sat down when we stop.  we finished first and sat  down before anybody else did. Then we had two more rounds which we came first for the two rounds.

Now i’m going to be talking about some skills she taught  us . The skills she taught us is how to defend your self , you have to try and get in front of them so you can get the ball to the other side. The other skill we learned is how to try and step the person that is try to defend you it went really well and kind of fun .

On the last week with Marilyn we had played a fun game of netball. Serenity had to say thank you to Marilyn for teaching us netball skills  for being a great coach . After we  said thank you we went back to class to finished of our work.
