Kowhaiwhai Pattern

By Luken,Cooper and Korban In He Kakano (our senior Māori group) we have been learning about kowhaiwhai and their different meanings. We had to create a piece of artwork showing at least one kowhaiwhai pattern and this is what we chose.


 This kowhaiwhai pattern represents speed, swiftness and agility.

 We chose this one because we all like sport and we’re all fast. This design represents the patiki or flounder. It is a symbol of hospitality. We chose this design because we all like eating food.

Packing My Bag For Mount Cook

One pair of tough, pink, stand out boots with diamond sprigs

To grip the snow

For climbing the steep slopes

To get to the summit of Mt Cook.

A pair of super green bionic

 gem encrusted binoculars for

 looking at the pink birds nesting

As I explore along the way

One thick jacket with heaters in it

On top of my t-shirt made from a heated blanket

Duck taped and super glued on so it does not fall off 

So I don’t freeze to death

Four cans of squiggly spaghetti and 

one bowl of gassy baked beans for energy on our adventure,

a mini portable stove to cook it on 

Carried in it’s own egg shell casing

In case we get hungry 

And one friend 

just incase I get lonely on my journey.

If I had wings

For the past few weeks we have been doing poetry. This weeks task was a poem about If I Had Wings... First we had to answer some questions and then we had to colour in the piece of paper with the poem. Last of all we had to write our own If I Had Wings poem. We had to use sticky ( interesting ) language, use the five senses and use interesting verbs and nouns. Here is my poem.
