Matariki Celebration

Another picture of our Te Manu Tukutuku display. There are 3 types of manu tukutuku on display.
Te manu taratahi - a triangle shape kite, with "tahi" meaning one, referring to the plume at the top of the triangle shape.
Te manu patiki - diamond shaped kite based on the shape of a flounder.
Te manu kahu - combination of a manu taratahi with rectangular wings attached, and a human face.
Room 9 made kites made from natural materials. Toetoe for the frame. Raupo for the horizontal lines, and harakeke to bind the raupo to the toetoe.
Room 10 combined natural resources with wool and creative decorative design.
Room 5 also had some adapted manu tukutuku on display that they made with the help of their buddy class (room 9!). These were the type of manu tukutuku that we made at the Matariki Celebration Evening.
