Term 3 Kaitiaki Inquiry

Kaitiakitanga Evening

Lots of us predicted the paper would dissolve but we are still waiting for it to happen!

We were learning to draw a scientific drawing from observation. This means drawing what we see not our ideas or symbols. Some times this takes lots of tries and requires constructive feedback to help us improve. Any feed back you have for us would be awesome.
