Our Marae visit

When we went to the marae, we had so much fun weaving, playing and learning about the maori culture. We learnt the marae was a community marae and all are welcome. While things where getting sorted and the adults, including Miss Walker, were learning to weave, us kids where playing Bull tag. Then we got called in and told what we were doing. We all made at least 2 fish and one flower.
Thank you Parents who took us on this wonderful trip!!!
