picking up Harakeke (flax)

Last week room 19 went down to Oamaru creek. We went there to learn about harakeke (flax) and also collect them to make some putiputi (flower).

Once we got there we prepared the flax. Ms T told us what to do and what not to do. We had rules what one we cut and what one we don't cut.

My partner Mosa was the one who cut the harakeke  for me and himself. Mosa cut a baby one in mistake. We had no time to cut another one cause we had to go back to our class. and Ms Tito taught us how to plat it.

When we cut it, sticky things came off the bottom, it was horrible. It smelled very nice and was so long. some of them were very rough.

We had a great time cutting harakeke and weaving  them. it is going to look amazing when its fished
