Te tahawai marae

The year 4 + r5 went to Te tahawai Marae. We got off from a Ritchies bus that dropped us off. As we walked to the marae we formed our positions,boys in  the back girls in  the front. The people in the marae started the karanga to welcome us into the marae. We had to take our shoes off before we went in to the marae for the the marae had sacred ground to the maori. The boys had to take their shoes off first then the girls after the tangata whenua welcome us. when we got inside Joshua K said his mihi and then I said mine. After that the room 5 and the year 4 did the hongi. Then we washed our hands and ate. The tangata whenua helped us weave with paper and put the to part on.

Before we were going to leave the boys did the haka.

I had a really fun time in the Marae especially the fun things and the haka
