Matahiwi Marae Trip

Today all of the year 8 students and teachers went to the Matahiwi Marae. We had been learning about who speaks first and when we sing and things like that. We sung our school song after some people at the marae did a talk. We had a bite to eat after about an hour of singing and eating. Later on the three people who were welcoming us onto the marae showed and talked to us about the main meeting hall ( the wharenui ), the other eating hall and the front gate where we do the singing and talking.
