How to make porotiti.

First I cut a circular piece of thick cardboard about the size of a coffee cup.

Then I designed my circular piece of cardboard using different coloured crayons.

Next I pierced two holes in the centre of the cardboard circle about 1 centimetre apart.

Thereafter I threaded a piece of string through the holes. I tied the ends together into a sturdy knot, creating a large hoop.

A strip of Aotearoa

Firstly I drew the sky, mountain, river, land and sea on a strip of paper using a pencil.  I then used a vivid to go over my drawing. Finally I dyed the strip using a paintbrush and different coloured dyes.

Plant sketch

I was able to sketch a plant using pencil. Then I used chalk on the pencil outlines. Next I used pastel to colour it in. Finally I used glitter to make my work look pretty.

Animal pollinated flowers

They have large, brightly coloured petals to attract insects.

They are sweetly scented and contain nectar to attract insects. The pollen is sticky to stick to insects. The anthers are firm and inside the flower to brush against insects. The stigma is inside the flower so that the insect brushes against it.
