Term 3 Week 7

Tongan Language Week

Malo e lelei everyone! To start off Tongan language week we had our opening ceremony led by some of our beautiful students who also shared some amazing facts about the island of Tonga. 
 



Our Tapa (Ngatu) patterns
In Tonga, tapa is known as Ngatu, and it is of great social importance and is often given as gifts during times of celebration.  The Rising Stars looked at sketching some of these patterns found on ngatu and here are our pics...

Art: Olympic Silhouettes

In Visual Arts we have been working hard on completing our Olympic silhouettes pictures. First we selected a sport and looked at sketching the silhouette onto the centre of our white paper. We then created our background of random lines and coloured in our silhouette using a black marker. From there we selected a colour of our choice and looked at using shades of that colour in pastel to fill in the background. We were so happy with the results...check out some of our work...
