Arrowtown Preschool children spent a year making a traditional Māori raft, a mōkihi, which they then sailed down the Arrow River - turning heads along the way.
Over two terms, the children, teachers, whanau and the wider community collaborated in bringing the mōkihi to life.
The teacher who led the project, June Caples, talks to Jesse about their hard work and why it as so important to the youngsters.
