My Taonga (owl necklace)

My Taonga is very special to me. It is like a pirate, finding some dazzling rare treasure.
It's my twinkling Owl necklace.
The peacock feathers on the owl are as sort as cat's fur.
The dark, black eyes gleam in the sunshine.
I saw it sitting on the shelf, holding it's breath.
And from this day on it has been my Taonga.

We read a story called Tama's Putorino.
 
We thought that the Putorino was VERY fascinating.
 
So we decided to do some research on it.This is our report on a Putorino which is a Maori Flute.
 
A Putorino is a Maori instrument. Now a day we would call the Putorino a Flute.

 The Putorino is a wooden wind instrument or bugle-flute made from two split pieces hollowed and bound together.
