Marae

Last week the whole school went to Te Kohinga Marama Marae at Waikato University.
We are waiting for the Powhiri to start so we can be welcomed onto the marae.

There were speeches in Te Reo Maori. 
The powhiri took a long time.
 We sang two songs.
We got to go inside the Wharenui.

 
The carvings all told stories. Some of the stories happened a long time ago.



We liked being in the Wharenui. 
We thought the carvings were very special and cool.
