Classify objects using a Venn diagram
We will know we can do this when we can:

Correctly label the parts of a plant

Term 2 Art Attack

We are learning to: 
·                make a tapa cloth.
Criteria:
·                choose a design to complete
·                follow the procedure to make it using paper, crayon, vivid markers and Indian ink.

We looked at a lot of pictures of Tapa Cloth patterns and decided to base our design on flowers.

How we did it.
You have to scrunch the paper up until it gets soft, then you do your design and colour with crayon. Then you use the ink with a brush.
