Weaving is Cool
Yesterday Mrs Bateman marched Room 14 to the gully. When we got there, Mrs Elmore was waiting for us. Mrs Elmore told us that we were weaving flax. First she said that we had to bring the shiny part of the flax close to our body and then had to make a 'v' with the flax. Then is started to pour with rain, so we had to go back to our classroom. Before long we had finished weaving our flax and then the bell went. We did it because we were learning about Maori culture.

Excellent recount, Jack. I remember you bringing your flax home and we planted it in the garden. Unfortunately, we haven't had much rain so it hasn't managed to survive. However, it was a beautiful example of Maori weaving.
