We went to the museum today to learn about taonga puoro- that's Maori instruments. Cindi called us in by calling, "Haere Mai," and playing a big putatara (shell). Nikki and Cindi said their mihi and sang then William and Hannah did their mihi for our side. We all sang E Toru Nga Mea, said a karakia and then we were ready to start.
Nikki and Cindi played their instruments and told us some stories.
After that we went upstairs and made koauau which are little flutes. We made ours from bamboo.
Some people can play theirs already.
