In Maths we used a measuring tape to measure the length of our hands. My hand measured 17.5cm.

3 D Fish

I created a 3D (stuffed with newspaper) fish for the Rotary Xmas function.

First, I drew my fish on white paper. Then I cut it up. Next I painted it. Thereafter I added some glitter to make it pretty. Finally I stuffed it with newspaper.

My 3D fish looked beautiful!

Future transport

This is a drawing of what I think transport would look like in the future.

Transport painting:

First I did three sketches of different types of transport and I chose my favourite one to paint. Next I drew my design onto a piece of card then I went over the outlines in vivid ready to paint. I then had to rub out the left over pencil lines and started painting. :)

Printmaking

I created this print by making the image on a block using card. Then I rolled an even coat of ink over the surface and placed paper over the block applying pressure using my hands and a roller to transfer the print.

George's Assassin

I was able to cut out the parts from a picture and invent a Thing-A-Me-Jig by rearranging the parts.

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.

How to make porotaka

To make a porotaka I used two strips of flax at least 30 centimetres long.

The strips were both the same width. 

First I folded strip A. 

Then I placed strip B inside the fold of strip A.

Next I weaved strip B around strip A.

Thereafter I pulled the four ends tightly to form a square.

Then I trimmed the blades so they are all the same length.

Finally when I finished making my porotaka, I pinned it to a stick.

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.
