Making Poi

Today we made poi. We made them out of wool, plastic bags, newspaper and dacron (pillow filling) It was quite easy, the hardest part was tying a knot and knowing how to plait!

We will be learning some simple actions with the poi.

Pepeha

We read a book called 'Child of Aotearoa.' We learnt that Maori identify where they come from by naming their maunga, awa, waka, marae, iwi and hapu.

This is our pepeha.

Maori Kite Making

Our Diving Deeper Maori group made Manu Taratahi with Mark Dashper and Mrs Wendt. We made a movie describing the process that we went through. We used authentic materials to make our kites and even tried to fly them!

Pepeha

Earlier in the year we learnt our pepeha.
A pepeha is when you tell others about yourself in Maori.
