The kites used to communicate There would be many varieties of kites. Some were big, some were small, and some would have different patterns. 

The kites were also made from Toetoe (Usually mistaken as Toitoi but is pronounced as Toitoi) The top parts have bushy tops and is what is used for the Manu Tukutuku.

The Māori didnt call the kites kites they called them Manu which means bird, Tukutuku which meant winding in and out (There is no real english way of saying it)

Hi I’m Aiden. I’m from Kaingaroa school. I come from Norway and now live in New Zealand. I’m good at soccer and can speak 2 languages and I’m really looking forward to getting a new puppy. I’ve never had one .

I were born 22nd June 2010 at Ahus Sykehus in Lillestrom, Norway. 

I don’t have a mountain. But my town was Trogstad, one hour from the capital city Oslo. The town is only small with a population of approx 4000. 

 

We lived in a house that was built in 1850… Mum and Dad bought it when Eric (my brother) was a baby. We had no kitchen and no proper bathroom, but over the course of 8 years we turned the house into 3 beautiful apartments. We sold these apartments shortly after we moved to New Zealand. 

Your best friends were Tristan, Emil, Odin, Otilie. (and cousins)

 

My nana in Norway’s name is Ruth, I call her Mossa

I had a grandad in Norway’s name is Svein, I call him Besse

My great grandmother on Besse’s side is still alive. I had always been very close with her. Her name is Anne Marie. My great granddad Alf passed away a couple of years ago. 

I have an named aunty Hege, she has no children

We had a beautiful labrador dog named Tilly. And happily she is still alive and living with my mum’s friend Else Marie.
