W4 D4 A2 Try Your Own Tapa



The Tiare ( The Flower )

The Tiare is a precious flower that is from the Cook Islands. It smells beautiful and its colour is a perfect white. It symbolizes purity, romantic love, love for homeland and a link to the ancient land of origin, 'Avaiki (Hawaiki).

The Triangle Pattern ( Orange and Yellow )

I have no idea what the triangle pattern means or represents but for now, it will represent the triangle pattern exactly how I made it on my nana's hat.  It has been passed from my nana's mum and my nana's mum's mum and so on, and now she has given that hat to my mum which I think is really cool. When I get older,she will probably give it to me and I will pass it on like my nana.

  1. Hello Zayden,
    Good Morning! I hope you are having an amazing day so far. I really like how you made a lot of them and then put two in the corner to show us it. I also like how you explained what the patterns meant. I think it is really cool that you have a hat that has been passed down for many generations. When I grow up I might make something to pass down. Maybe next time you could put the patterns in a specific order. Overall, this is a phenomenal blog post! Keep up the astonishing work!

  2. Hey Zayden,

    That's really cool to hear the meanings behind the symbols, I think the reasons you have for the yellow-orange shape is even more special than if you had found a meaning for it, it's really cool you can have a really personal connection to this post and pass that on through your family. I'd love to see a photo of the hat if you were okay with that, so I could see what you mean.

    See you in the comments.

    Daniel :)
