  3. Recently, room 3 went to a trip to the Owhata Marae to learn about Maori legends and Maori symbols. We looked at carvings and we also looked at Hinemoa's rock. My favourite part of the trip was when we got to climb up to the top of Hinemoa's rock.

  5. We were allowed to climb up on top of Hinemoas rock! We also looked at the Tutanekai Wharenui but we weren't allowed in.

  6. The Marae was as interesting as ever my favourite thing was the rock of Hinemoa (300 years old and still there) it was also nice when our guide let us have a go climbing it. The most fascinating thing was all the Maori patterns there were lots of variations. Overall I thought the Marae trip was a great adventure. by Vedansh

  9. When we went to the Marae we learnt so many interesting things about Hinemoa and Tutanekai which was amazing. My favourite part was when we got to climb up and down hinemoa's rock which was 300 years old!!
    It was so amazing thanks to all those people who helped to organize it.

There amazing patterns that we saw and had never seen before. Lets hope the info we wrote down on our notebook are useful for our maori task for this term.
