Samaon Siapo

Task description: We have been learning all about patterns in maths and we created a piece of artwork showing a repeating pattern. We did this learning on Samoan Language week so we created our very own Samoan siapo. Please check out my beautiful artwork below.

Patterns Week 6

Task description: This week for maths we have been learning all about repeating patterns. It is also Samoan language week so we have been learning about different Samoan designs used for siapo. For our task we had to find out the core pattern for some repeating patterns and then research some Samoan designs that we would use in our Samoan siapo. Please check out my learning below.
