This term in math we have been
learning about symmetry.We did some

Tapa Turtle.

This term we have been learning about tapa cloth.

I learned how to carve.You had to carve away from yourself.I also learnt how to make tapa cloth.We learnt all the steps to make it.There were eight steps.They  are 1.Cut down a mulberry tree.2.Peel away all the white inner bark from the brown inner bark. 3.Roll up the white inner bark.4.lay out bark on wooden log.5.scrap the bark with shells.6.Beat the bark with mullets.7. scratch the inner so it looks like cloth.8.Then paint it with dys. I liked the maths rotations they were very fun.I liked circle power.It was a fun activity where we learnt about symmetry.My favourite activity was wrap it up.We learnt about geometry because in tapa cloth there is lots of patterns.I learnt how to find the lines of symmetry in shapes.I learnt what translation is.It is when you move a shape over,carrying on the pattern.I liked scrunching up the paper.
