UNFOLDING STORIES on PhotoPeach

Mrs Logan an author

On the 17 August 2011 Mrs Logan come along and read us her wonderful stories about history in the Manawatu region. One of Mrs Logan's stories is going to be published and is very suitable for kids. Miss Inskeep who used to be a DP at our school brought Mrs Logan along. We all enjoyed her stories and hope she is able to come in again. We know she is looking for children to illustrate some of her stories.

THE MARAE VISIT

Response to the Marae Visit

On Thursday the 23rd of June Room 15 and Room 14 went to the Aorangi marae. At the marae we learnt a lot of new things. We took turns at looking at parts of the marae. Room 15 started inside the meeting house known as the wharenui. In the wharenui we looked at parts of the rafters and backbone. On the rafters there were kowhaiwhai patterns. Also on the backbone there were kowhaiwhai patterns that repeated its self. We had to do a sketch of the backbone and rafters.
After we finished we went out to the front gate/wahanui. Out at the front gate we had to draw and write all the names on the front gate into our topic book. The names were Te Rama, Meihana, Kapene and Aperahama. Tahuriwakanui Hapu was the tribe name tribe.
After we looked at the front gate we went to the dining hall known as the wharekai and said our karakia. Room 15 said theirs first then Room 14.
After we had our kai we went into the wharenui and said our mihi. A mihi is when you introduce yourself in Maori. We took turns at saying our mihi. Room 15 then Room 14.
After we finished we went back to Lytton Street School.

I learnt that there was another name for the meeting house/wharenui/whare tupuna - Andrew.

I learnt that the marae was like a person because the front gate was like the mouth and the meeting house was the body - Kiana

I learnt how to draw kowhaiwhai patterns - Grace
