To tie in with the Prep, 1 and 2 Asia Literacy country of Malaysia, students learned about the traditional craft of kite making. We investigated the shapes of some of the kites and admired the patterns and colours of the materials used to make them.
Each student then made their own Malaysian 'moon kite' (or 'wau bulan' as they are called in Malaysia). The cardboard kite shape was cut out and then collaged with a variety of patterned specialty papers. Some sequins, gems, crepe streamers and ribbons added the finishing touches.
