Saturday was the completion of my basic Maori Language Course at Nayland Community College. Our class visited the Whakatu Marae. We were welcomed on to the marae with a Powhiri, shared some kai (great homemade scones - yum!) and shared our Mihimihi :)
That was the nerve wrecking part! We all did really well. Then we learnt about the history of the marae and more about Maori Culture. A great day :) Thank you to our kaiako (teacher) Ani & to Mike who lead our group at the marae.
