How to make a tapa cloth

Sketching Shells

Firstly, we got some paper and practiced sketching different shells. We drew just the main outlines and of the shells. There were lots of different shells to sketch.

Transfer design

Secondly, we had to transfer our best shell sketch onto cardboard. It was cool doing it.
The colour of my card was brown. We also had to sketch a border with a design.

Scrunching the cardboard

Next, we had to scrunch our card to make it look and feel like a real tapa cloth.
I was having fun. We had to scrunch it about 30 times until it was ready.


Adding colour

Finally, we added some colour to our tapa cloth. I got black and brown pastels to put on my design.I used black vivid for my outlines and the inside.

On Saturday I went to my game and we were playing against Pakuranga Jaguars and they looked easy. Our coach said ‘now we are doing push-ups, then we counted to twenty and we were finished. Then we started doing some racing and I came first. Then we had another race and now my friend won. His name was Tom he's the second fastest in my team. We started doing dropkicks and we all got it in. we did some steps and we stepped our couch and the manager we were all tired then the game started the captain was a boy named jason and he was massive and we went in the field and the other team was tall and they were so fast but we were faster then them and a boy named tupou gotta try and everyone was cheering for him then we got more and more tries and they had no tries.then it was half time and we ate some orange and we drank some water then we had a rest then we ate some cookies and it was so nice then half time was over then we got up and went in the field and we challenged again and we got more points than the other time then our game was finished and  we won our game and I got a trophy and the others got metals and then we all went home.
