Learning about wharenui

 To prepare us to go to Hukanui Marae next week, we have been learning about wharenui. 

We learnt about different parts of wharenui. Koruru is the face of wharenui. Maihi are the arms. Amo are the legs of wharenui and Raparapa are the fingers which are open to welcome visitors. 

We explored making wharenui using different materials. 

We then drew wharenui and painted with dye. 

I will upload the finished artwork next week.
