Our Visit to Te Hana Marae





When we got to the village we started to look around.  We got to look at the Marae which was different to the other one. Mike showed us a weapon they used in the olden days. It was called a spear.
This is us going into the men's house in the village. They used this for meetings.


Here we are standing around the camp fire in the women's village.


This is were we got to listen to a legend that Mike told us. It was about princess Te Hana and a warrior who found love and this is the carving of them.


I went to the Marae. At the end of the visit we did a hongi.  I did not want to do it but I wanted to show respect so I did.  It was fun. By Seulgi

I did the hongi. I was a bit scared to do it at first but it was nice to have the experience and go home and tell my family I did it. By Kiara

It felt weird to touch noses with a man at first but l actually liked it so much that l even got a second turn. Awesome!  by Hayden

This is us waving, we went with Room 18
