Te Marae Topic

In preparation for our visit to Omaka Marae in Week 9 we have been spending our afternoons with Room 13 for our topic session.

We have made rākau sticks and learning waitata, learning about te powhiri - the welcome we will be a part of when we enter the marae.  

We have had a special visitor, Rita, teaching us about all the parts of a marae.  She even told us stories of the process of building wharenuis.  All of the craving and painting that goes into them!  Amazing.

   

We'll be very excited by the time our visit comes along!
