Poi Rakau - Summer Learning Journey Day 22.

 Today for our ast activity we had to make instructions on how to play a game called "Poi Rakau". If you haven't heard about it before then you can check out this video, here: Click Here. I enjoyed this activity because it was really to learn about and really surprising to know that warriors used to play this game while training. I found nothing hard because the video we watched before doing this activity explained it very clearly and it was understandable! Have you played Poi Rakau before?

I have created a google slide about this activity and attempted to write the instructions myself! I personally think Poi Rakau can be a really fun game with your whanau or friends to play with during the summer because it's a really good game and fun! Are there any games you play or used to play that generated from the Maoris culture just like Poi Rakau? 

Here are my google slides for this activty:

Cups and Saucer String Patterns - Summer Learning Journey Day 15.

 Today for our activity we had to get string and do some string patterns with our hands. I used some ribbon because I didn't have string or yarn, I had thread but it would break halfway through! I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to do and you especially didn't need just string to make this, you can make use of something else too.

I found it hard doing the pattern in general actually, because it took me like about 10 times to get it correct because I kept doing it wrong. I tried once again and I got it, I was so shocked. Here is the video that helped me doing mine, maybe it can help you! Click Here. 

I learnt that you can also be creative with string, there is also a game you can play with string called Cat's Cradle, here is how to play: Click Here. Here is a photo of what I ended up with!
