Instructions to weave a box!

 1.  Gather all your equipment so you are ready to start.
2.  Measure 10 strips of paper 1 cm wide and 30 cm long.
3. Cut out the 10 strips of paper.
4. Place 5 strips on the mat next to each other about 2 cm width apart.
5. Grab a strip and weave it through the strips on the mat.
6. Repeat step 5 using the 4 strips remaining.
7. Once step 6 is completed carefully push the strips closer together until they meet.  And the inside makes a square.
8. Cello tape each corner to help keep the strips in place.
9. To make the sides of the box, fold the outside strips back over the base.  (to keep the sides straight fold the strips using the base as your guide.)
10. Cut out 4 strips that are 24 cm long and 1 cm wide.
11. Take one strip and fold it into 4 quarters.  (to give it 4 corners)
12. With the same strip weave it through the 4 sides.  (Keep it tight)
13. Cello tape each corner to keep the strip in place.
14. Repeat step 12 and 13 for the 3 remaining strips.
15. To finish the box make sure you fold over any strips sticking up and tape it down.

This is my duffy book.  It is a lego book and it is called Fire Truck To The Rescue.  It was written by a woman called Sonia Sander.  It is about a fire going on in lego city.  The fire fighters and the fire truck are on the way.  They can save the day.  At the end they go home knowing that they saved the day!

Purpose: Inform (share is our knowledge and facts)

Here is some information about harakeke.   Harakeke is also known as flax and can be found in gardens.  Before you even touch the plant you will have to say a karakia (prayer).  Another two things are number one you can not cut it in the rain and you can not cut it when it is in flower.   And you can’t cut the three middle ones or the whole plant will die.  The plant can live for a very long if time you don’t cut the middle three.
