Marae Visit

For most children today was the first time they had visited a marae. Rehua Marae is a community based marae offering the ultimate cultural experience for our school visit. Children and adults alike observed many aspects of the powhiri process as we moved onto the marae. Of course, the bus trip was also a highlight of the trip. Now when we talk about a marae children will have a little prior knowledge and will be able to picture what it looks like. We are looking forward to painting some super hot 'suns' with some Maori patterns based on the story - How Mauri slowed the sun.
