On Friday mornings I am in the He Kākano class which is a senior Te Reo Māori extension class. We learn about Māori language and culture. This term we have been learning about traditional Māori clothing and we had a go at creating our own garments. Here is our work. Please leave a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

Sails
Measurement
Our challenge is to:
- Create a matching sail for your yacht.
- Explain how you would work out how much material would be required to make both sails.
1. I measured the length of the triangle on the right and left sides. The measurement for the right side was 20.6cm and the left side was 23.5cm. Also the width is 11.7cm.
2. After that I made another sail with those measurements.
3. I then joined the two sails together to make a rectangle.
4. I then measured the width and length on that. The length was 20.6 and the width was 11.7cm.
5.I timesed those together to get 245.14cm². That is how much material I need.
6. Finally I stuck my other triangle onto the piece of paper like this:

Weta Workshop Poem
Tree Weta
By Caitlyn and Zoe
Creeping, crawling, up, down.
Searching, Searching for a place to stay.
Burrow in hollowed wood, under leaves,
blends in with leaves and wood.
Lives in gaps of caves and in holes of pohutukawa trees.
Head: Antennae like whiskers off dogs and cats,
Eyes like little chocolate chips.
Thorax: brown, like chocolate and dirt.
Legs look like twigs, sharp like hook grass.
Abdomen: girl, long, curved c shaped ovipositor,
Boy, short curved cerci.
Preys on lichens, leaves, flowers,
seed heads and fruit.
Life cycle, laid in autumn and winter,
hatching in spring.
Threats, rats, mustelids, reptiles,
cats, birds and bats
