Off we go to the marae










What a wonderful visit we had to the marae. After a wonderful welcome at the powhiri and a delicious morning tea, we divided into groups to learn Maori crafts and skills. First of all we each gave our mihi. What a good thing that we had all memorized it!  We then moved around different activities - te rakau the sticks, taiaha the long club, poi, making a whistle and we learnt te reo. What a successful day!
