Putiputi

Last week we were leaning all about the Maori culture. We looked at Maori songs, Maori traditional clothes and Maori food. We all wanted to try a hangi. We were also lucky enough to learn how to weave flax. Mrs Elmore took us into the gully and told us all about the flax plant and how you should look after it. We then each got our own piece of flax and tried to follow Mrs Elmores instructions to weave a putiputi (flax flower). It was a little bit difficult, but we got ther ein the end.
