It is Matariki in New Zealand and the Maori people are thinking about things they want to plan for this year. They will celebrate tomorrow with their families. They will have lots of food and maybe they will fly some kites.
We have been trying to make paper kites. First we cut the paper bag into two halves. Then we folded them into 8 strips. Second we painted them red, white and black. Third, we folded them into 8 strips. Fourth we made Maori patterns and painted them. I picked yellow, red and black. My other colour for the other half was purple. The longest part was weaving all the strips together.
Finally we braided three colours of twine to make the tail. Then Mrs Yumul got a glue gun and she put a feather and fern branches on to the bottom.
