 LI: To create string art panels 

Today for Te wiki o te reo maori ( native language week ) LS2 would become like and older brother or older sister to help the little ones learn about different patterns to draw or design their own pattern  we helped Ruma Kotahi ( Room 1  ) and Ruma Korua ( Room 2 ) draw and design patterns and string panels . I helped Alex from Ruma Korua glue his string on the patterns he has chosen to draw and help him cut the right amount of string he needed to glue on the outline of his Turtle, fish  and the Maori  flag . Working with Alex was really hard to make him understand what he was  doing because he would wander off to work space 2 or because he was to excited to do art with LS2 but i just moved on and tried my best to help him understand and to focus then in the middle of our second block with Ruma Kotahi and Ruma Korua Alex was really excited to cut the string and also he loved to glue the string or connect the lose string to the end of the string . Something i learnt today about  helping Alex was that he was really excited to help me do his art and he even wanted to help everyone else on our table we worked on glue there strings .
