Juniors - Māori bookmark

Design a Māori bookmark. 


Vocabulary

To read - pānui
Book - pukapuka
Kowhaiwhai pattern - Tradition Māori art (example below)

















Koru - A spiral shape often used in kowhaiwhai patterns. 


















Fun fact: Carvings tell the story of our tīpuna (ancestors). Every carving you see is a carved story of the past, the present or the future.

Practice the koru shape over and over again in order to get better. It's not as easy as it looks.
