Now you have seen our art we can share how we made it!

Choosing tiny beads to thread onto craft wire to make the central part of our hibiscus flowers - this required a lot of fine motor control and perseverance!

Twisting pipe cleaners and bending them through the clear plastic dragonfly wings took a bit of fiddling around and at times a buddy to hold the pieces still. 

After the dye was dry we had to lay out all the pieces and think about how to layer the composition together - no one art work was the same as anyone else's design. Split pins and glue guns held it all together.

And we are all online - Hooray!

Our subject was a Tree Hut design based on the story The Tree Hut Treaty. Mrs Trembath has been teaching us how to login to our Google Drive and this is our first activity to practice our ICT skills. Mrs Trembath is really impressed with how we persevered and believed we could do it without her help. Ka pai tamariki! You have really shown your Mana this time!

This is our first try at using Google Draw. We have played around with the tools of the app and look what we have created all by ourselves.
