Off to the Marae!

Tomorrow we are on the bus and off to our local Marae. Orongomai Marae is our local Marae, but for me and many of the children it will be our first visit.

For Discovery last Wednesday we explored several art and craft activities designed to give the children some experiences in Maori culture that they might not have had before. They made poi, practised with rakau, wove with paper, drew koru, and made headbands.

We have also been practising our hongi - just in case!
