Pacific Neighbours Vocabulary
We learnt that we can take a picture of anything on our screen if we just press Command+Shift+4 at the same time! Check out our screen shot of a Wordle we just whipped up!
How to Make a Tapa Cloth
Equipment
A3 white blank piece of paper folded into 8 small rectangles
1 vivid
Brown dye
A sketch pencil
A2 black piece of paper
Stapler
Method
1.First you need your A3 white blank piece of paper, which is folded into 8 small rectangles.
2.Then you have to draw a pattern that relates with the our pacific neighbours. You might want to draw it on some scrap paper first incase your pattern on your real paper doesn’t work out well.
3.Once you have got your pattern on your real paper you might need to get some newspaper and put it underneath your work incase vivid goes on your table. You get your vivid and outline everything that is in pencil.
4.After that you need to rub out any pencil that you see. Once you have finished that you need your brown dye and dye the whole thing.
5.Next you wait for it to dry and then scrunch it up to give it the tapa cloth feeling and then you open it up and there you go a tapa cloth.

Discovering our Pacific Neighbours
This week we have been learning about our Pacific neighbours. We have been bringing items from Pacific Islands, such as instruments, costumes, ornaments, photos, books and more. We are very proud of what we have been doing so far. Have a look at these photos to see just how fun it is learning in Room 29, the best class ever!
