Last Friday, the Kahurangi Pod and our whānau went to Te Hōtu Manawa ō Rangitane ō Manawatu marae.
When we arrived, we were welcomed onto the Marae by Whaea Ellen and Whaea Kararaina who both did the Karanga. Once inside the marae, Matua Shane did a whaikorero. Mr Radford followed with his Whaikorero and laid a kōha on our behalf to say thank-you. We then sung a waiata to support Mr Radford. To conclude our Pōwhiri, we had to hongi Mātua Shane and Whaea Kararaina.
Our marae activities for the day included: listening to the Marae history, mau rākau and poi making.
It was an awesome experience! Here is a video of us practising for the Pōwhiri and at the marae…
