How to weave a Harakeke Flower

 

Purpose: We are  Learning how to weave a flower so we can have it as a decoration.

Equipment Flax or Palm Leaves ( 1 per flower ), Scissor’s , a  Needle and Little beads or shells.

Steps to make 

1. Split the flax in half (from the sharp point down) but leave about 15 cm still joined (leave longer if you want a longer stem)

2. Lie the flax flat on a table and start by crossing the left leaf under the right one.  Then fold that now left one back under the right one.

3.Then continue to fold the one that’s now on the left under the right one, and you are going to keep doing this same pattern until you get to the end.  So, to recap, always fold the one that is on the left under the one that’s on the right.

4.Eventually, you will get to the end of the leaf and because of the way the folds work it ends up in the shape of a flower.

5.Pull it around in a circle quite tight so that it almost looks like a rose.  Then you want to get your pieces of shell or paua, needle and nylon.

6. Thread through the leaf and then through your shell or bead.  Thread back to the backside of the flower and then to the front again and continue to         the back again – knot it off.

7. As mentioned earlier these can make a neat little gift as you can pop them in a box and post them – could be a great gift idea for the grandparents!

Dear Mayor Gibson

I think that trees are important because they give us wood and building materials

like house, fences, to make a fire  and keep you warm. 

If we cut so many trees then we will not have Oxygen and if we have no trees then

you would not be alive right now.

Tree planting is an amazing thing to do for the environment.

First you need to find the best spot in your yard. Then you dig a big hole and put the

seeds in. Then you put the dirt bake on top and put a bit of water on the dirt. Then

after about 1 month then it should grow.

Problems about Planting Trees 

The problem about planting trees is that trees can take over 100 years to grow.

People say that they think it only takes 2 years but that is not true. 

Solution- in my opinion I think they should stop cutting down so many trees.
