Te- Poho-o-Rawiri

Welcome back, 

For the past couple of weeks my school and I have been doing more Kapa Haka then usual 

because we went to the Marae. We had the choice if we wanted to stay the night or not. 

I didn't want to go and I am happy I didn't because most people got terrible sleep. At first then 

we got there we were welcomed in with a powhiri by the tangata whenua. The people who 

welcomed us in was called Aunty Buba, Papa Albie and Aunty Charlotte. 

When we had finished being welcomed we had rotations around all different actives. My group was group 2 and along with group 1 we were the first to walk up kaiti hill. It was beautiful!  Next we came down and enjoyed our lunch we were aloud to play with the balls and the skipping ropes. Our next rotations was Maori games they were very fun. I leant all theses cool tricks with the stump, that had 

been sanded and painted, that was my favorite rotation.

  

 

On Friday we had weaving and the museum rotation but sadly we missed the rope games. We packed up all of or stuff and said goodbye and thank you for having us.  I had so much fun at the marae and I am so sad that I can't go again.
