Marae writing

Yesterday we went on the bus to Hukanui Marae.  

We sat on the mat and we waited with our bags on.

We went into the wharenui and we saw all the photos of the people who had passed away.

We had a kai.

Then we drew a picture of the waharoa.

Then we went back to school on the bus.

Hukanui Marae

 Our trip to Hukanui Marae was exciting.

We went on the bus.  We had to wait quietly to go onto the marae.  The kuia called us on with a karanga.  We sat on the mats and listened to Koro.

Then we went inside the wharenui - Tuturuapapa. We listened to Koro talk about the marae.

We then had a kai and did some sketching of the waharoa.

We watched the big kids performing kapa haka, then we went home.

Ka kite ano Hukanui Marae!
