Marae Trip by Asher

Our Marae Trip

The day finally came on October 26th

When we went to orakei marae.

We hopped on the bus and off we went.

Later on we got to the marae and it was around 10:30.

We were a little early. Then a lady walked in and said “My name is Whaea Celeste.wow you guys are early. I will call the people in the marae that you're ready and we will start the powhiri.”

We walked out of the room and towards the marae. My heart was beating with excitement when I saw the marae.

And there was Whaea Celeste doing the kaikaranga in front of the marae.

Then Zoe did our kaikaranga.

After that I spoke as the whaikorero and we sang a song.Then we had a two minute play time outside. After that a man called Matua Paul taught us about names of the houses around the area.Then we had a lunch break in the same room that we came in at the first place.

After that we made some flax bracelets. Oh oh, I feel sick.

I told mum to text dad to pick me up.

Eventually dad got here to pick me up.

I told my teacher and off we went.
