About the matariki weaving

On Friday 2nd of July we had a visitor  named whae Hei who came in to teach us how to weave. first  Whae Hei asked Pila and Tautaina to go outside and collect some flax. after Whae Hei told us to get two pieces of flax she then told us to make a knot on the end of the flax.  after that she told us to plait the flax as if we were plaiting hair, while plaiting she told us to go over under  And over and under. 

At First it was a bit hard to go over and under but then I got the hang of it and was the first 7 to finish making the ball out of the flax. overall  it was fun making a ball.
