Last term Auroa School celebrated Matariki, the Maori New Year of the Seven Sisters. My Whanau, Hinengakau, made instruments that were made out of card and string. It was an instrument called a purerehuia. The trick to this instrument is that you swing it really fast. It can also attract Moths and lizards. It was fun learning about this instrument and showing how it works to the school. This video was created about the process by Tamara from Room Two.
