This term we have also been exploring something we have made. Puoro! Puoro is a Maori instrument that can be told more about in my story. It was fun making them and blowing them, and if you want one, you can make one with the instructions in my story.
What’s a puoro
What is a puoro? A puoro is a Maori instrument; used to make a whistling sound. And sounds like an old lady whaling. It is an interesting sound that could be for kapa haka. And for other Maori traditions. And also for sending messages. Also to calm people down. And itś also a bit easy to make. ( Have you made a taonga puoro before?) It's heaps of fun. But how do you make a puoro? Well, let's find out.
When you Make a puoro. It will be a bit hard but it will be cool once it has dried up. Firstly, You have to Break the red clay into equal halves. Then once it is in equal halves you start scrunching it up then roll it into a ball. Then do the same to the other one. Then after that, you have to Poke your Thumb into the middle of the clay ball, Then start to pinch it a bit till it makes a little bowl. After that you use a pick or a pencil to scrape the edges of the bowl all around, Then thatś when you put it together and it will turn into a big ball, then slowly smooth the clay onto the other side to block the edges, after that, you put your pinky into the middle of the puoro and then let it dry off.
Once it has dried off you can start to blow on it. To know how to blow on it you have to put half your mouth on and then just blow normally and it will make a whistling noise. If it won't blow you will have to restart the whole process over again. Then a lot of people would design it with A toothpick.
Lastly, What is a puoro, And how do you make it then what does it do. After all of that You wait till the whole thing dries out it would be more accurate and easier to blow. And then now you will know how to make a puoro.
