Maori Language Week - Making Poi in Room 8

We have been busy in Room 8 learning songs for Maori Language Week.  This week we learnt a song that is sung will you are using a Poi.
Here is a link to the song we learnt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp8u7WFIkuE

The Poi were quite tricky to make and had a number of steps that were fairly fiddly for our fingers.  We had to show a lot of resilience today to complete a set - plaiting, tying knots, cutting the wool.  Miss Harland was very impressed at how we collaborated and helped each other.



The was the YouTube clip that we watched to pick up some handy hints:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKJDZJxerVI
