weaving harakeke(flax)

Last week, room 19 walked to Omaru creek to pick some harakeke(flax). And it sounded like fun. Its not far from here,it only looks like a short walk.

When we got there,there were lots of harakeke bushes, I didn’t know where to start. We sat down on a dig blue mat. Then Ms Tito gave us some instructions for how to cut the flax and which places to cut.

Ms Tito gave some students a knife and the others had to wait for them to come back. We walked back to school and went to the street. In the street we started to weave the flax. Ms Tito showed us how to weave it but it was hard.

After we finished we went back inside and had lunch.
