Hi everyone
We have been talking about going to a marae.
We are interested in hearing about your experiences on a marae.
We would also like to know if you have any questions that we could research more about being on a marae for you?

Hi Kereru Learning Space, a few of us have been on a Marae before, but not many. However maybe we will get the chance to in the future.
ReplyDeleteWhen Eli went to a Marae there was lots of people there for a hangi.
When Zalena went there, she was welcomed onto the Marae.
When Kihi Boy went to a Marae it was a little bit scary because there were a lot of Pukana carvings around. When he arrived at the Marae they started off with a karakia and then waiata or a haka.
When Lennox went to the Marae he remembers a big entrance.
When Ghetto went to the Marae his whanau was there to celebrate a hangi.
Why are you going to a Marae? How are you feeling about going to a Marae? Will you be eating traditional Maori food like a hangi? Which Marae are you going to?
Hi Kereru, in our literacy class only one person has been to a Marae and she loves it. She goes often and enjoys the peace and quiet as there are not many people there. Ngawari loves staying the night on the Marae because it is so much quieter than her noisy house.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to hearing about your learning and experiences.
Hello Annameika, Thank you for your comment. That is really cool that Ngawari gets to go to a Marae all the time. We like the sounds of such as quite place, most of us in Kererū like quite spaces. From Kererū Learning Space at WPS
DeleteHi Kereru,
ReplyDeleteWe have been having a a good discussion about what we would like to see at a marae. There are about 6 people in Room 2 who have been to one, they told us that it was a fantastic experience and they loved hearing all about the traditional Maori stories that they were told. At HPS we are lucky enough to have two Whanau classes who get to go to the marae at least once a year and they always have a great time.
Tena koutou Kereru
ReplyDeleteYou taught me that there is a marae home .
Why did you choose to do a blog post about this?
Maybe next time you should tell us more about the marae home.
This is amazing because you took a photo of the home.

Tēnā koutou!
ReplyDeleteWe liked how you have added in a picture and how you wanted to find out more information about the marae! Only 5 people have been to a marae in our class! We would like to ask or find out about why you visit a marae and what it feels like when you go there. Are there any things that you need to do before you go to a marae?

Kia ora Miss Walters
DeleteWhen you first come to a marae you wait at the gate and after that a male or a female will lay a leave on the ground to see how you would pick it up before you pick it up they walk back slowly but they keep there eyes on you. If you pick it up ruffle it means that your a mean person but if you pick it up softly you will be able to go in. Thank you for your comment. From Jaydah in kererū (WPS)
