Marae Visit

A.M.P Marae visit

 

Tuesday  8th of November 2022 we went to Roma Marae for a school trip with rooms 3,4,5 and kapa haka. We got on the bus and went to Roma Marae. When we got there they called us in and our kaikaranga responded, we were at the back because we let the ladies in front because ladies are at the front and gentlemen are at the back because it was rainging and we were 

in a little tunnel  

 

When  we walked into the marae we got to sit on chairs or the floor. Matua daren did ahipara a mihi and matteo did one

Aswell. Matteo’s dad backed him up with another mihi, as the kaumatua. Then an elderly lovely lady there who basically knew all of our grandparents the lady asked us to say our pepehas but nobody wanted to say their pepeha but mana and some parents did their pepeha. So she just said their parents and their nanas and papa and your surname.

 

We walked over to the other side of the marae to eat some kai that was prepared for us visitors. Slade led the karakia and we ate some oranges cupcakes cake and more after that we went back to the marae and the lady told us some stories about NZ it was cool. She also told us about the wakas. After that, we walked back to school and stopped at the carvings there were made for our leader poroa and tinana our school waka leader then we walked back to the school  the end.

Cross country

The perfect storm

We have been writing narrative stories, we did a story about a storm because there was a big storm at my school. Here is my writing.

One beautiful afternoon my dad, mum, and I were lying down on the couch. We were watching the news at my house then we noticed there was a storm. We didn’t think much about it at first, then the next minute our power cut out. We saw a dark cloud approaching our way. We were outside when we saw a tornado. It was actually coming towards us and we went inside the house terrified.

Our power came back on for a bit. On one news, they said we needed to evacuate. Big storms and a tsunami were headed our way. We looked outside one more time and we saw a huge wave coming towards us. Mum said “Hang on to something PJ”, so I did. The wave came crashing over us and we got separated from each other.

The wind was so strong, and then all I heard was the thunder right above me. I heard the sirens go off and I saw damaged buildings being eaten up by the sea. I ran over there to see if my mum or dad were there.as soon as i got there i saw houses burning slowly.

I looked behind me and saw my parents walking toward me.  Suddenly I saw a big wave coming towards us I said to “take cover mum and dad” they didn’t hear because of how loud the thunder was the wave swept them they got pulled.  Hail started to fall from the big dark cloud it was terrifying. Some big wind forced me to the ground I had blood all on my face. I wish we would’ve taken the storm news seriously. then I woke up it was just a bad dream phew! the end

 

i wish i wouldve writen more or add more puncuation i really enjoyed writing this story.

Takarokaro

Last Term we had a Rugby festival at Te Rarawa Rugby club. We played lots of games such as R.a.t which means Rip and tag, 4 corners, and turbo Touch.  I had so much fun.

After we finished Turbo touch we went inside the club and had a shared kai. It was mufti day  – pajamas day as well. We had to come in our Pjs or mufti. At the start, we listened to the national anthems of South Africa (Springboks), New Zealand (All Blacks), Wales, and Samoa. I really enjoyed playing Turbo Touch. If we would’ve played a bit more I would have been happier. Have you ever played Rugby?
