We had the best experience at Waikawa Marae yesterday. The tangata whenua (hosts) were so welcoming and taught us a lot! We were taught by not only the Marae hosts but also some students from Queen Charlotte College. We took part in learning all about the carvings in the wharenui, how to weave with flax, we learnt and sung a Haka and we learnt a song to use rakau sticks too. We saw the kowhaiwhai patterns we had been learning about and creating at school and experienced a hongi. It was a day full of new experiences and fun!
