Today Team 3 Red had an amazing trip out to our local Marae. After we were welcomed onto the Marae we shared our Mihi's and then learnt more about the local area and the importance of Lake Waihora to the local Iwi. We then got the opportunity to use the rakau and make up our own pattern. After lunch we were introduced to the different uses for harakeke and even got to weave our own putiputi. Thank you to Fiona for making sure we all had a fantastic time. We certainly learnt a lot!
Sounds like it was a great trip and Hana certainly enjoyed making the putiputi.

Lorrin enjoyed learning the stick games. She told us all about the trip when she got home.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about our trip to the marae was making our putiputi. It was fun, from Emily
