Singing and poi 4 plait!

On Thursday lunch times at school we have been practising our Maori songs and our poi 4 plait.

Our songs are Kia tau te rangimarie, Ko Maria and He Honore. They are all great songs but secretly ... the girls are better than the boys.

We also have just started learning how to 4 plait for making poi's for gifts to give to the Japanese people we will be staying with. It is quite difficult but is really fun and they look very cool when they are done right.
