Pataka visit

We went for a visit out to Pataka yesterday to look at 2 different exhibitions.  

http://www.pataka.org.nz/

1. Where Do I Plug In?

Family Life and domestic technology as it was a century ago. A choice of five hands-on activities including washing, ironing, dressing up, play ground games, slate-board and ink-pen writing, darning, butter-making, rope-making, puzzles and a matching up game using old and new domestic items from the museum’s tactile collection.

2. TS CREW 20 YEARS .
TS Crew is a group of Samoan and Māori graffiti-writing, mural and tattoo artists who have been making their colourful marks around the Wellington region for 20 years. Now they are taking over one of Pātaka’s gallery spaces and painting a huge 15 metre wall with their vibrant island-inspired images. If your students enjoy drawing then our programme is ideal for extending their drawing and mark-making skills using different processes and materials. Students get to leave their mark behind with a collaborative mural activity.

Te Reo learning.

Fear Zone to Learning Zone

This week we looked at changing our comments we made about the resilience task from the 'Fear Zone' to the 'Learning Zone'.  What is the learning zone?

Resilience Task

Can you explain to your family what we needed to do here?  You could challenge them to make it.
