Manu Tukutuku

As part of learning about Energy we looked to harness the wind using Manu Tukutuku (kites). We created out kites overseveral weeks using toe toe flower stalks. We were going to skin the kites with raupo but were unable to find any. The first time the lake where raupo grows was too low and and the next time the water level was too high. We solved the problem by using toetoe to skin the kite as well. Unfortunately this made the kite to heavy to launch successfully, so we decided to decorate the kites with feathers and shells and decorate our walls.
