This term we are going to be learning about Maoritanga. Today we all visited Taumata o te Ra marae in Halcombe. This was the first time alot of children had visited a marae. Here are some of the things that the children learnt:

The girls went onto the marae first.
We had to take our shoes off when we went inside the wharenui.
There are lots of carvings and paintings.
Flax is used to make flowers.
