Whai - Maori String Game
Ella shared her knowledge of a traditional Maori string game called 'Whai' this morning. Her mum taught her the 'Cup and Saucer' and 'Eiffel Tower', and Ella is trying to learn '4 of Diamonds', 'Butterfly', and lots of others. Some of us came up with a few of our own like 'Parachute' and 'Arrow'.
