Flax Weaving

Nina showed us how to make flax flowers. they were easy for some people and some people thought they were tricky to make. To make them you had to strip the flax and which is when you split the flax through the middle of the flax. The first one we made we had to give it away to Nina or Janice.When we did it Jenny (Ashley's mum) come in and helped us.

Later Chantelle's mum came to school. She helped some of us do some harder ones they had four or six strips some of us found it easy some found it hard.

Our Wearable Art

Our class went to visit the Wearable Arts Museum. By cars we saw lots of weird costumes from 1 to 25. We sat on the seats. On the seats there where pieces of paper that had infermation that told us about the costumes. Some costumes where made of wood my favourite costume was the Ring Mistress (Cadey). My favourite was the Cartoon Guy (Tia) . After that we went into a glow room to watch a movie about the costumes.

Next we went to Nikau Gardens and looked at the native plants. Mrs Cowley gave us some cameras so we could take photos of the plants.( josh) My favourite was the pohutakawa . My favourite tree was the kowhai tree (Taine).

When we came back we started to think of ideas to dress up Susie. We drew flax, manaka flowers, pohutakwa and tree ferns in groups of three and then we dressed Susie up with them.

Now Susie is a Wearable Art model who just missed out going to the WOW awards!
