Moala - Diorama

This Week St Patricks Whanau has made a diorama about Sand Dunes in Tahuna Torea. We first had a cardboard box and a fruit tray. We first grabbed to coloured paper green and a brownish paper. Malia and I cut the coloured paper into little strips and twirled them around and put some of them down instead of all of them up. We then grabbed scissors and curled the paper so it looked like a speckled sedge. We also made a tussock and did the same thing we did for the Speckled Sedge. We then coloured the cardboard blue and a sand colour. We made a couple of seaweed and put a little bit of sand and rocks on the fruit tray. We coloured the fruit tray a sand colour. While making the diorama I learnt more about Sand Dunes. About the different type of plants and the environment. Like Karaka, Karaka is a native plant to New Zealand it is green and orange and glossy above and under and are curly. Lisiate made a crab because while he was at the Sand Dunes he saw a crab and decided to draw one. Solomon also made two birds and stuck them to the box. I have made a couple of words that relate to the Sand Dunes environment and stuck them to the box. After making our dioramas we explained what we made and everything about Sand Dunes. Here is the final results! (we made this out of paper).
