The impact project Im doing at the moment is Whakairo carvings, which I enjoy because I've always wanted to learn how to do wood carvings. Its also my favourite impact project so far.
Heres my reflection for my impact project from last week
The first thing I learnt was a karakia Koka Ori taught the class.
The karakia is for thanking Tangaroa for the fish we are taking from the ocean.
Other than that I've been doing carving for the rest of the day.
The first time I held a chissel and a mallet was 8:30 in the morning when I came to school early.
Later on in my free time during the day such as morning tea and lunch I would go to Matatoa's shed and help Matua Simon with carving the Waharoa.

Most of the time I was taking out some big chunks of wood from the carvings or carving smooth curvs into part of the Waharoa
I'm still learning the basics of carving.
Matua Simon (Simon Lardelli) has been kind enough to teach me the basics and how to hold a chissel and a mallet properly.
