We visited the marae to learn about the customs and kawa or marae protocol. We learned about how people are welcomed to the marae and how important the wharenui or meeting house is. We also learned what the parts and patterns of the wharenui mean. We sang some waita, learned a haka and wove some putiputi harakeke or flax flowers.

We are all excited to be back at school after our long , hot , summer break. There have been lots of changes while we were on holiday. Hardly any teachers are where they were last year. We think they are trying to confuse us!
