Visiting Ihenga's Marae

Today we visited Ihenga's Marae to do our activities. Yesterday we participated in the pohiri with the middle school. Today we got to walk straight onto the Marae and we got busy learning about the wharenui, harekeke and some new waiata.


Here we are sketching some of the ancestors in the wharenui



We learnt a new waiata (song) and the girls had a turn with the poi.

In our last activity we learnt about how harekeke is like a family. There is a baby, its parents and it's grandparents.  We went searching for these families in the harekeke.
