Senior Marae StayBy Brady
On the 16th of March rooms 8/14/15 and 16 went to Kohewhata marae for the night. We got there on a bus.
When we got there we unloaded our bags and left them on the grass and got pōwhiried into the marae.
Te Awanui’s mum called us into the marae. When we got in the marae we had to harirū three elderly men. When we sat down Mr Shaw and Matua Jim spoke for our school. After they spoke we sang a song.
When they had finished talking we went and got our bags off the grass and put them under the shelter.
After that we had morning tea. For morning tea we had mandarins with milk and fruit bars.
We had homemade burgers for dinner. For dessert we had peaches with hokey pokey ice-cream and it was delicious.
After dinner we went for a shower and then used the toilet before we went back into the marae. When we got back into the marae we watched Whale Rider. It lasted for a couple of hours then we had to go to sleep but most of us didn’t. We stayed up until the teachers growled us then we settled down and went to sleep. We all enjoyed our time there. Well I know I did.
Dear Staff,
We thank you for making this possible to go to Kohewhata Marae. It was a great experience and I hope we can go on more like this. I think we enjoyed every moment like the food, activities and sleep time. Coby and I loved every moment of it. And I wished it never ended. So we thank you xxx

I did drawing with Jamil. Jamil drew a marae and I drew a house. By the time I had finished drawing my house it was lunch time. We ate lunch and then we carried on with our activities. In the middle of our making time it started to rain. So we had to go inside but me, Jamil and a couple of others went for a swim in the rain.
We stayed in the rain for about thirty minutes max. We got out of the rain and got dry and went into the marae.
We did some drawing and then it was dinner time.So we went to wash our hands and went to the wharekai which is called Hoana and had dinner.
