In Ruma Waru our focus was on harakeke/flax weaving. We learned how to harvest the flax, which parts of the flax to leave alone (the middle five stems - the family), what to do with the remaining flax scraps (return to the bush they come from) and how to weave ika / fish.
Everyone made at least one ika and the seniors were kind and caring supporters for the junior members of the school. Ka pai to mahi tamariki.
