Today I completed Wednesday’s kick start activity with the Pekapeka – our native bats. For this task, I first did a quick match up quiz about pekapeka. That was really quick and easy warm up task. Then I had to make a bat ornament.
I was given some instructions on one way to make the ornament including using some stencils provided, twigs/branches, black paper/card, and some string to hang the pekapeka. It was raining and thundering when I was doing this activity, so I thought of my own alternative. I had an indoor plant by the window and I thought I might just use it as part of my bat ornament.
I found this Chinese paper cutting craft with 5 bats on it, so I printed and cut it out carefully. After I finished, I first place on my sweat shirt and see how it look on me. Then I put it on a pink sheet of paper and slipped it in a clear pocket folder as if it was laminated, because I don’t have a laminator at home. Here are some photo of the ornament placing around because it is portable.
Do you learn better when following instructions or when you think of something new?
