Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Task In Numeracy We Have Been Learning A Working Backwards Strategy. The Strategy of Working Backwards is used to Solve Problems, For Example, to make it easier for you, you should write the Steps down. Start with the end of a problem, and work Step By Step toward the beginning to get a Solution, Write down each step as you get closer to figuring out the Problem, And Finally, The last Step will Verify that the Method Works and then you should get the Answer. Also If we were to Subtract a Number we would add, If I Multiplied a Number we would Divide If I Divided we would Subtract so this is Reversed.

Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Task In Inquiry Involves Around Us Choosing A Picture That We Think Has A Resemblance And A Meaning That We Relate Too.

There are different aspects of this Picture although this is what I wrote about. This Picture That I Have Chosen, Relates To My Global Issue In A Purpose. This Picture is representing and informing about Global Warming and how much of an impact it is putting on our Ecosystem. This Picture Also refers to why and how these people want the World we have now to revert how it used to be when there was no pollution floating around our Oceans, Waterways and Landfill.

Hello Bloggers, Todays Weekly Wednesday Task Is To Make Siapo Designs. One of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa. It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is very time consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used. It is then laid out in the sun to dry.The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth. There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan culture such as nets, coconut leaves, shells and flowers. Our Task was to Sketch four different inspired Siapo Designs and choose are favourite one. Next we had to Sketch our Designs onto a piece a paper fold it and then draw our designs on each of our for squares to show a sequence. For my Design I used Earth Colours, which are dark greens, yellow, Brown, Red. I created a Flower Design that has leaves on the outside crease of the Flower. Then we got to colour it with die and then scrunch it up and display it on our walls so that it gives a Tapa Cloth effect. Have you created a Siapo Design Before, was it inspired or Self Created?

Hello Bloggers, Todays Friday Task was finishing our Koru Necklace. Today after I showed the Teacher my Symbolisation of My Koru Necklace I was able to move on to the Air-Dry Clay. The Air-Dry Clay was very challenging at times because we had to work quickly with the Clay so that it wouldn't dry. When I started forming my shape together I managed to see that there were little cracks forming so to help fix this problem I had to take some Water and dap it on my Design so that It can help mould my shape. After I created my mould once it was still wet I had to create a little hole on the top of the heart so that the necklace band can fit through it. Once our Design was set to dry we had to create an Adobe Spark which will explain the beginning, middle and end process of the Art that we have been focusing on this term. By creating our Adobe Spark Video we had to do a voice-over, add pictures and detail to make our Videos informative. Have you created a Koru Necklace out of Air-Dry Clay or Bone Before?
