Matariki Kites

Last week, we made kites as a  class for Matariki.
We made them out of sustainable products such as flax and sticks.
It was very fun but we made a lot of mess.
First we had to get into groups of 3 or 4.Then  plan our kites how we wanted them to look.

First we wove flax into mats, then we made frames for them out of bamboo.
We had to saw the bamboo so it would fit the mat. It was super fun.
Also  we had a  special helper Malikah’s Mum called Casia. 

 Casia brought in coconut string, which we used a lot of .  We had a blast!
