Poi ingredients

Wool x3 different colours (Tess)

Plastic bags (Caitlin)

First

you get some wool about the length of your forearm (from your elbow to your middle finger tip).This will make a short poi. If you want to make a long poi, the length of the wool should be from your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger. You will need six strands of wool

Second

Next you tie a knot at one end and then you do a 3 plait starting from the knot. Make sure when you finish plaiting you knot the other end leaving enough strands of wool to tie around the ball of stuffing.

Third

Grab a bunch of stuffing and scrunch it up into a ball about the size of a fist. Put the leftover strands around the ball of stuffing and tie the strands to hold the ball in place.

Fourth

Then put the plastic bag over the stuffing and gather it at the last knot you made and tie with wool or string to hold it together.

Fifth

Trim the plastic beneath the tie.

Sixth

To finish off wrap sellotape around the tie.

Free writing task

In writing we have been doing workshops. I'm in miss robertson's workshop. For this writing we had to write a normal story and if she said something we had to put it in our writing. This is mine that i did.

Here we are at the baby shower i drag my feet to the table to grab a snack and run my hand across it, it was as soft as bread. I pick up some grapes and hear a whisper from my mum reminding me to say thank you to my sister for everything.I go outside and go sit by the huge tree in the backyard and start to write a story.As my dreams wander off the pages i can see it all coming to life
