Hukanui marae

Last week our whole school went for a trip to Hukanui marae.
We learned about the protocols that are involved in visiting a marae.
In the wharenui we were told stories about the history of the marae and the reason why the ancestors are there.

We were fascinated!


Our kapa haka group did us proud!
They were fantastic.
The tangata whenui of Hukanui were impressed.
Inside the wharenui we loved listening to Whaia Robyn's aunty telling us about the historyof the marae.

We sketched some of the carvings on the wharenui.

It was a wonderful experience.
