Weaving a Matariki kite

Happy Matariki everyone and we had fun making a kite for Matariki. You guys are wondering how me and my classmates made it. How we made it is we got a brown paper bag and we got scissors. We had to cut the brown paper to make two flat shapes. We designed the first brown paper with special patterns. Then we painted the other brown paper and I wanted to do mine orange. My classmates chose their own colours. Then we waited for all the paint to dry.

Today we started to weave our kites and Mrs Agnew had to start me off and then I could go under and over with the strips.

My kite is very pretty and I like it.Finally braided three  colours of twine plaited. To make the tail. Then Mrs Yumul glued a feather and some fern  branches onto the bottom. I‘m sooo proud of my kite.

My matariki star

Yesterday I created a Matariki star using diamond shapes that I had to duplicate. Then I learned how to rotate and nudge the shapes together. I grouped the shapes together and then I enjoyed using the colour gradient to add different colours.

This is my star:
