Korowai with Janet de Wagt




Last week was an exciting week in Room 13 with Janet de Wagt (Our artist in residence) leading us in making cloaks (Korowai).
It was our making day with Janet on Thursday. We learned to be arty not greedy and thanks to the assistance of Susan, Jacinta, Kate, Jo, Karen, Tracy and Debbie created some awesome cloaks. We had to work very hard and we couldn't believe we finished our cloaks about 2 minutes to 3pm. We felt so proud wearing them in the Grand Parade on Friday. They are on display in class and we will be wearing them again soon....

We wrote fantastic recounts of our personal experiences of making cloaks with Janet. We published them and you can come and read them in Room 13.

Keep up the great work with poetry, next week we will be sharing them in class- so keep practising at home this week.
