Maori tradition 

 

This year we have been learning Maori traditions. We learned about the food and celebrations they do. They have many things to play, eat and do. They had creative ways to make food. They dance with poi and wear traditional clothes.

There is a dance that they do with a poi. Poi is a ball and string made out of cloth used to do dance. While they dance they wear clothes made of animal and bird skins. In lockdown Covid we had to make a poi at school. We also had to make a hangi which is a food that they eat
