Marae week

Fantastic weather and engaging activities created a very exciting week!

Marae week was a fantastic week where we learned lots of new skills. We worked with flax, made our own tukutuku panels using pegboard and wool and even made string out of flax.

The girls in the class made poi and worked together to create a dance to present to all of the Year 7 classes. The boys learned the school haka and worked together to create their own haka choreography. They were also part of the presentation to the Year 7 classes.

Room 6 presented our flax weaving in assembly. We shared the protocols around cutting flax and what we had made. A lot of us found flax weaving challenging but we all got there in the end. 

We had lots of great helpers for the week and a big highlight for everyone in our class was the Hangi on Friday. 

Yum!
