At Kohewhata marae.

WALT: organise and follow the structure of a recount. Today, I have written a piece of writing about going to Kohewhata marae. Also this is a piece of writing that is talking about how I felt about going to the marae.

Our Marae Noho

Last rainy Thursday the 21/06/2018, the library was crowded with rooms 3,4,5 ready to go on our marae
noho and everybody was buzzing well they were waiting for the buses.
"Etu” Jono called, as we were sitting with excitement. We all stood up and Jono followed that with
“whakapiri o koutou ringa ringa, piki o koutou matinga, kapi o koutou kanohi, me inoi tatou”.
We all began to say the karakia and as we finished we had himene, mihi tuatahi, waiata and mihi tuarua
which is taumata at Tautoro school.We finally got into the bus and took our seats. I looked to the right
and then looked to the right and there was a nice and comfy chairs, with soft and relaxed arm rests.

It has already been a few minutes and we had already made it to the marae but it felt like it was seconds to
get there. We put our bags into the wharkai and lined up to get ready as whaea Mary gave us a powhiri
outside the marae by the front gate. We all entered the marae and Matua Wikitoria was standing there
waiting for us to come in and start the karakia and mihi and waiata and then it was our turn to say the
mihi and waitata and the first song that we had sung was Te po. We finished that song and
Matua Matt stood up to say a mihi and then we sang Tiaho mai ra. We finished and we got straight into
our activities with the groups that had been put into.

The activities were making koauau flutes, inprenting, waving, tukutuku panels and looking for the stars.
The first activity group 2 did was make koauau flutes out of white clay. We started to make them and got
straight into it as soon as everybody left the room that we were is. The directions that was had to follow was:

1. Play with the clay for a little bit, so that it is easier to make.
2. Make the clay into a cylinder shape.
3. Place a whole on top of the shape.
4. Make the whole as deep as you can.
5. Put to holes on the side.
6. Make designs on it.

We finished going all of those direction and moved onto the next activity.

We moved on to the next on which was weaving but I wouldn’t go into more detail because it was the longest
one that I had done, but I can tell you that the weaving that we did was AMAZING trust me.
There were more activities but I can't remember them but I can remember that we had a nice dinner.
