Porotaka By Liam, Mikaila and Mark

Porotaka
We read a Journal Story last week about how to make Porotaki. We had to get flax and harakeke sticks and Mrs Neumann was kindly given some special nails by Carters in Opua. 
We had to fold the flax around our fingers and then weave it,then we hammered it onto the harakeke stick with a special nail. When we blew on the windmill it spun around and around. They also spun around in the wind. We found out that they went around even faster when the  flax dried out a fortnight later. They were an amazing toy to play with especially because we mad them. Matariki Day is such a fun day!!
