Making a Cloak

On Thursday and Friday Room 9 made Maori cloaks. In Room 9 we made cloaks and went to the marae but the Marae is another story.

We made cloaks because we were learning about Maori things. Room 9 likes art and learning new things.

First we spread paper all along our tables. After that we got a piece of paper and folded it into the shape of a cloak. We got some crayons and we coloured it in. Later we painted it black over the crayon. When the paint was dry we scratched the paint off and made koru patterns. You do the same on the other side. An exciting part was when we put some feathers and sparkles on the cloaks. Finally we put our photo inside our cloaks. They showed how each of us is different and a treasure.
