We learnt how to greet one another in many Pacific languages.
Then we went to make leis. Did you know a lei can be made of seeds, shells, lollies, egg cartons and plastic! We made one for someone special.
We had to concerntrate and follow the pattern "flower, straw, flower, straw" to make the colourful leis.
Then it was off to the hall for some druming and dancing.
We learnt that in the 'olden' days the drums were used to send messages to the villages. Also girls were not allowed to play them. Today drums help keep the rhythm of the beat for dancing.
A drum has two ears and a mouth!
We had so much fun with the Pacific Mamas!
