Today my class has been working on Art, and learning about the traditions of Samoan Tapa cloth. Everyone in T1 made an example of Tapa cloth out of thick paper.  Firstly we drew what we choose from a Samoan story that the teacher read to us, on to a piece of paper using wax crayons. Then I painted brown dye over the top of my drawing. When it was dry I took a photo of my work and now you can see it on my blog.

Tapa Cloth

In our class this week, we have been doing tapa cloth work art. We learned how to use symblols and designs to create tapa cloth. In my work, I have decided to design a flower, water flowing, eel, sunshine, hills and a canoe to express my love for traditional tapa.

How to make a Umu

Today the 27th of May 2020, we have been watching a video about how to make Umu from Samoa.

A Umu is where the Samoan people cook their food.

It needs dry coconut and banana leaves, rocks. dry wood sticks, taros, and taro leaves.

The Samoan skills are when you have to always be patient, have ears on, watch and learn.

Yes I have experienced the same cooking process in Maori culture in NZ. Their name for umu is called hangi. Samoan people cook taros, bananas, luau, pig and chickens in their umu. I couldn't have done it without Wilma's help :).

My Haiku poetry about Foxes

Today the 26th of May 2020, we talked about haiku poetry and Ms Birtch instructed us to write a poetry of my own.  So therefore I have decided to write about foxes because I really love foxes.

FOXES

Foxes are yellow 

Foxes are white 

Foxes are beautiful like snow white
Foxes fur is as soft as a rug
Foxes sleep as tight as a bug.
