This term, we read Tangaroa’s Gift as part of our Seaweek learning. We started with chalk to create swirly waves. Then we used pastels and paper towels to blend our colours. Next came the green and yellow pastel for the seaweed, then the blue dye to create the underwater scene. The paua was another process. We added designs to our paua, coloured them in, then scrunched up tissue paper to add effect and volume to our artwork. Finally, we added beads, and Whaea Deb added a sprinkle of glitter to finish them off. Our paua nestled amongst the seaweed under the ocean make our classroom look like an undersea garden. Tino pai to pikitia ngā tamariki!
