__Material;__ Laptops Brown paper Printer Coloured paper for background

__Method:__ 1. Discuss and observe different examples of tapa from different countries. Discuss what each symbol may represent. 2. List objects to develop symbols for. 3. Teacher demonstrates use of geometric shapes on Pages, show own example- this will be the frame for the work. 4. Work needs to be saved into a folder at the end of each session. 5. Once the frame is complete print out onto A3 brown paper. 6. Children sketch ideas first for their creature. Use the Kidpix programme to draw this. Shapes and symbols were also added. Print this onto white paper and check for size and shape. Revisit and change. 7. Select a colour paper for the background and mount creature onto it.**
