Hoani Waititi Marae trip

On the 28 of June  2010  Anawhata  and  Piha  went to  The  Hoani Waititi Marae. We did this for our term 2 topic, Maori.
When we got to the Marae  the Kuia did a special Karanga  to welcome us in. When we got in the Marae the Tangata Whenua, Mr Morris and Mr Cross  did their special mihimihi, to support that we did ou two songs: Te Whenua o Raumati and Ka Waiata.
When we were at the Marae we learnt a game called Nga Whitu. Nga Whitu is a game where you count up to 7 in Maori and make actions for the numbers, it is a really  good way to learn how to count in Maori! We were told three Maori ledgens and were given colouring-in sheets to colour in about the Maori Ledgens. Overall I learnt at lot at the Marae and had heaps of fun!!!!
