Noho Marae

Mrs Glue, Brighid and Daniel create simple tukutuku patterns.
 On Tuesday Ruma Waru and Ruma Tahi travelled to the Arahura marae for our noho marae experience.  We all participated in the powhiri and the mihimihi after that.

Later in the day we walked along the awa and four students were found by pounamu.  From the awa we went down to the beach and created beach sculptures to retell aspects of the legend of Poutini, Waitaiki, and Tamaahua.

In the early evening we listened to the histories behind many of the figures to be seen on the marae and within the wharenui.

After dinner we participated in a range of activities followed by marshmallow smores at the ahi while we listened to stories. Then, after some beautiful waiata with Paula, we went to sleep in the wharenui.
Mrs Barrow and students create intricate soap carvings.
