Tapa Cloth

As part of our Caritas focus on the Pacific we learnt a little bit about Tapa Cloth, which is a special bark cloth made in Tonga and Fiji among other Pacific countries. Tapa cloth is made from the bark of mulberry trees and takes a long time to make. Plants are used to make dyes to paint the tapa cloth.
We made out own tapa cloth using paper and crayon and a template to create a pattern.

Gluing and creating the template:

Maths - Mapping

In Maths we are learning about maps and how to use them to give directions and find places. Today we worked in pairs to give directions to our buddy to get from school to another point on the map. We have learnt about co-ordinates, grids and giving directions using specific descriptions such as turn at the third street on the left. We are really enjoying this learning. Ask your child to navigate next time you are out.
