My Marae Recount Trem Two 2019

                         

                   Room Five And Seven Marae vist

On Wednesday room five and seven went to the Arahura Marae for two days. We waited at school for the parents to arrive. Me and Kade sat in the back and talked about sport as we were driving. As we came up a hill, we paused to see the amazing marae. We had a karunga, a hongi, the waiata and our mihi as part of our welcome onto the Marae.  We went to the mare to learn about the marae and maori culture.



The food at the marae was delicious. I had hot chips, chicken and lettuce, also some pavlova. At lunch I had a sausage roll and quiche. Then at breakfast I had some nutri grain . The kitchen staff were amazing for making so much food in such a short time.

The following day we went to look for greenstone down at the river because we had been given special permission to go there. Most of the things people found was serpentine which Jerry said is like greenstone’s brother, Jerry is the person who explained the carvings to us and told us when we had greenstone. James, Joe and Jack found so much that it filled up there pockets! When we came back we had forty five minutes of free time before the evening rotations.

For the evening rotations I did the technology challenge. We made Kade into a very strange taniwha but sadly our team lost. Then I did some soap carving.  I did a bit of rushing so it didn’t turn out very good. I really enjoyed the evening rotations. The best for me was the technology challenge because it is fun getting to turn someone you know into something like a superhero.


After everything, we went back to the marae for sleep.  There was a lot of fake coughing that kept everyone awake. When it stopped there was a cough every 10 minutes. In the morning I woke to  huge laughter because James had a very funny thing happen to him… one of the parents farted on him!                                               

I would like to thank the cooks for all the meals, Jerry for giving up his time to tell us about the carvings and taking us to the river to look for greenstone, and last but not least I’d like to thank the parents for giving up there time to get us to and from the marae and also helping us with the activities. It was a great experience for me because I have never been on a marae before.

Quote art term 1 2019

This is a photo of my quote art. We took a photo of ourselfs and used that for inspiration but before that we had to get a quote that showed a value that we believe in. Me and Jack got some from Jonny Wilkinson, the best rugby fly half who ever lived.
The photo is when my art was was finished.

If I had wings

For the past few weeks we have been doing poetry. This weeks task was a poem about If I Had Wings... First we had to answer some questions and then we had to colour in the piece of paper with the poem. Last of all we had to write our own If I Had Wings poem. We had to use sticky ( interesting ) language, use the five senses and use interesting verbs and nouns. Here is my poem.

Wharenui

Marae on scratch   - click here to see work                     

Today I will be telling you about marae or wharenui. The wharenui is an old maori meeting house but
there are many scattered across New Zealand and new one’s being built.The marae represents an
ancestor. There is the koruru or the head, the maihi or the arms and the raparapa or the hands.

Across the whole of the building on the roof is the spine and ribs also known as the tahuhu and the
heke. Then you have the heart or the poutokomanawa at the center of the building and that is why you
need to be respectful. Also on the walls are photos. They tell stories of people who have past away.

The wharenui represents an important ancestor that has past away. The wharenui is like a history book
because of the photos and the carvings that tell stories about  people. Marae are the same as a
wharenui and they are there because years ago that was where some tribes lived to keep their people
safe. Wharenui are important because of how long some have been there and also because of what

they do.
