Making our Matariki Kites

This morning we started making our matariki kites.  We got into 7 groups, each group is named after the Seven Stars: Waiti, Waita, Tupu a nuku, Tupu a rangi, Waipuna a rangi, Ururangi and Matariki.

First we decided in our groups the shapes our kites would be then we gathered the dried stalks of the Harakeke to make our frames.

Tomorrow we will begin making our kites.
