Matariki in Room 9

Celebrating Matariki in Room 9 

Kia ora




Tapa art work in Room 9.
We used felts and dye to make our Tapa. We drew Koru - spial fern patterns, Ika- fish, Paua - shells and silver ferns - all of which are symbolic to New Zealand Maori culture. We then scrunched up the paper a few times to give it a crumpled real tapa look. Mrs Alluri then ironed the paper to remove the folds. We put up our art work in our school hall for our parents to see for our celebration evening.
