Today Room 7 and I went to Te Oro to make some Poi. First, we started with a cube-shaped foam, we then used scissors to cut it into a circle shape. After that, we got some black, red, and white string and cut it up from the length of our middle finger to the middle of our arm. Once we did that we moved on to a bigger cube-shaped foam, with that we wrapped any colored string we wanted around it 30 times, then we cut it off the big cube and tied the 3 colored strings we made to it. Then we plaited the 3 colored strings together making a long plaited string to hold the circle cube we made for the top of the Poi. We put all the parts together and the poi was finished.
Thank you Whaea Binny & Whaea, we appreciate the opportunity you gave us to make some Poi, I hope we could come and do it again one day.
Thank you and have a good day.
