We started making our poi on Friday and today we helped Kahurangi make theirs.
The key competency we are focussing on this term is Participating and Contributing. This was a great activity to bring out that part of learning. To make our four plait poi we HAD to all participate- if one person didn't do their bit the poi wouldn't get finished. We did a great job and all our poi look very professional.Now we have to work together and learn how to use them. Zoe S is a poi making machine!
Thanks to the great instructional videos from Melville Intermediate in Hamilton we have now got out poi made and are ready to start to learn some basic poi moves.
Thank you Room Eight at Melville Intermediate in Hamilton.

Wow you are brilliant. We might try to copy you. Would it be too hard for a Year 2/3 class?
After we had done it ourselves we helped the Year Threes make their poi too.
We had to work together in threes- one to hold the wool we had tied around the dacron filling and the other two to do the plaiting.
We did the four plait- each child holds two strands of wool. One child changes the wool horizontally and the other vertically and it goes really well.
When we get to the end of the wool we tie it off, then cover the dacron with half of a plastic shopping bag and tie it off with a bit of cellotape.
Easy as!
