Mau Rakau And Bone Carving

 Mau Rākau And Bone Carving

Our class and the senior class received the opportunity to be included in a group for Mau Rākau and bone carving.  

We have been working on our Mau Rākau item for around eight weeks and we have nearly completed It. We are performing the item next Friday at school infront of the school.

We have been learning how to respect the Mau Rākau and respecting the Maori ways, It has been good for my motivation because I have nearly accomplished and item and learning how to discipline myself. 

In Bone Carving we have been working on a small piece of bone, I have sketched the design of a Hei Matau on to It. And sandpapered It lots so that the colour of the bone turned white and smooth, Next Wenesday I will see the full result of the bone cut out. Next time I will sandpaper It so that all the rough edges are smooth.

Here Is a picture of the shape of a Hei Matau.

  1. Kia ora and talofa Sepela, the bone carving sounded and looked like fun. I like how you've used mau rākau as a way to motivate and discipline yourself, ataahua. If you could put a picture of what your bone carving looks like when finished then that would help readers see what you've done. Tofa soifua.
