Jimmy - Dr Wayne Ngata - The NZ Curriculum refresh
Amanda - Navigating the Journey - Relationships and Sexuality Education - Health and P.E. Resources are all in a shared folder on google drive. This is a family planning resource that has been reviewed with staff and through consultation with the community and recrafted to suit the aakonga at TAI.
Cushion covers are the new project for Outside Schools. 2022 lessons highlighted that 7-8 lessons to make a Hoodie were not viable - I was stressed and grumpy and absolutely hating Thursdays. Thankfully there were already silk screens in the Art room that we could borrow. I chose cream/unbleached calico for the cushion covers and purchased the following equipment to make paper stencils - craft knives; cutting mats; masking tape.
Craft knives and cutting mats have been labelled with numbers - past experiences have taught me to ensure that all of these resources remain in class at the end of each lesson.
I needed to practice/revisit making a paper stencil and chose a picture of a Piwakawaka - which proved to be quite time consuming. Attaching the stencil to the screen was tricky as I have found that the silk attached to the screens is loose andthis leads to the paint bleeding regardless of how much masking tape I used. I've enjoyed showing the studnents how the print didn't work out for me and having a laugh about it. This is a great way to discuss the techniques and ways to improve each time.
