Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori September 8, 2010

We are making a boil up, and this is me making Motu Motu. It consists of just flour and water. It is like a dough that we broke up and used it over the watercress and pork and other foods that were in the pot. We got to eat the boil up at the end. Below is me weaving flax. I made a flower. I also made a bull-roarer. A bull-roarer is a piece of wood made into a rugby ball shape. You spin it around on a string as fast as you can and it will make a humming noise. you have to sandpaper the edges to make it more aerodynamic and it helps it to spin faster in the air. The thinner you make the shape the higher the pitch of the humming sound.
