Making Hinaki:Curriculum Links: Visual Art, Inquiry, Social Sciences, Te Reo
This activity involved lots of hands on and language experience for the students. It also linked to the hinaki being set in order to catch an eel.
VISUAL ARTS
Developing ideas
- Investigate visual ideas in response to a variety of motivations, observation, and imagination.
- Understand how the cultures of people in New Zealand are expressed in their daily lives
Materials Needed: Empty drink bottles, string/wool, PVA glue, scissors
Today's learning involved lots of mess, and the students enjoyed this. As part of our learning for Change and the Whanganui River study, we decided to make a hinaki. Making a hinaki at scale, and an actual hinaki we could use would take too long, and not all of the children would be provided with the hands on language experience I wanted to give them. So we opted to invent one, that was easy, affordable, and something fun for them all to enjoy. And even better they can get to take it home once we have finished displaying them.
What students I did have, enjoyed it, as you can see in the photographs. At first they didn't like the idea of using their hands to spread glue on the bottle, but they soon got used to it.
