Otaki Youth Space.

 

On Wednesday Kapiti Coast District Council came into Mnl and did some work with us, they had paper and sticky note hung around the room looking for our ideas. They wanted to include an Otaki youth space for kids, My class and I gave ideas in what to include, we came up with ; music room, bike track and more. we also gave them ideas where it could/would be. I hope that a youth space in Otaki will be fun and safe.

My Tapa Art

week 7 was Tongan language week and to celebrate my class and I made Tapa art work, we used brown paper, dye, vivid. The first thing we did is we researched some designs to start with, then we went over it with vivid, and when we finished we crunched up the brown paper and then re-opened so it would look like the original tapa bark paper of trees, then dyed it. This is my Tapa art work I did in class.

 This week my class (MNL) completed a challenging task to build a car out of certain equipment e'g. paper, cardboard, paper straws, wooden skewers and hot glue guns. we would cut out a piece of cardboard in the shape of square, gluing or taping the wooden straws to the bottom of the cardboard square after that you stick a wooden skewer down through the hole which allows it to spin around ounce to hot glue the bottle caps to the end ( for the wheels ) . Stabbing another skewer threw the cardboard in the centre, letting the paper turn into a sail which catches the wind allowing it to roll while the wind pushes it letting it roll with the wind.  

After the class completed all the cars we had gotten a fan and had a class race, I placed my car in front of the fan and turned the fan on to it racing down the class all the way to the end.
