Poi Making in Room 4!

ROOM 4 ARE OFFICAL

‘POI MAKING EXPERTS.”

This term we have been looking at different symbols and their meanings in Maori.

We started off by asking ourselves:

What is a Poi?

What do they symbolize?

We learnt that the Poi was used in the olden days to help make the men’s wrist stronger and to help them with their co-ordination.

“I liked making my Poi myself and learning how to use it.”

-   Taufa

-   “I learnt all about the meaning of the Poi.”
