Ma whero ma pango ka oti te mahi.

This is the stripes on my sticks.

This means everybody  has to work together to get things finished.  

The curly pattern is called a koru. This means we are learning new things. We are learning to count 3 beats with the song.  We are learning to throw the sticks and catch them. Whaea Sharon and Whaea Kristina are helping us.

We dropped the sticks lots of times.
