| Subgroup Analysis: |
Year 4  |

Year 8  |
| Commentary: |
| Students were moderately successful at this task, which required them to discuss why the painting depicted super heroes, and why they were clearly New Zealand super heroes. Students were generally able to provide one or two pertinent aspects of the painting and some explanation of their points. Gender differences were minimal; Pasifika children at year 4 had the most difficulty with this task. Gains from year 4 to year 8 were moderate and, at both year levels, there was a slight increase in performance noted from 2003 to 2007. |
