Marae Trip

A couple of weeks ago Pod 4 went on an overnight stay at Kaka Porowini Marae. The man that was our host was named Matu. He wasn't really related to anyone at the marae as he was an orphan when he was younger because his parents didn't want him or couldn't have him because he was half Maori and half Chinese and that was a huge No No back then. The cooks were exceptional except like the Spag Bol. There were lots of carvings covering the wall and each one of them told a story. We learnt about My Mihi and made a play about whales and how useful the were back in the olden days. Learning Kapa Haka was really fun with Whaea Dallas and her family and I still remember the song we learnt. Aroha, AROHAAAAAAAA. That's actually all I remember.
