Fence Weaving

During M.O.O.T. on Friday with Rata Rima and Rata Ono, some of us chose to start working on our fence weaving up on the rainbow with the colourful plastic bags we have been bringing in to school.

This tukutuku pattern is called a poutama. It looks like stairs. We chose this pattern because it shows a learning journey much like our own journeys here at school. As we grow and move through school we are faced with new challenges, which is the each new step of the poutama. We are able to climb this step and face these challenges by using and building upon all the knowledge and skills we have learnt so far, which are the steps we have already climbed.

Here is how the fence is looking so far! We think it's a great way to recycle plastic bags and bring a little bit more colour to the rainbow!
