Culture Day

The school held a Culture Day today as part of our immersion on Cultures. We started the day watching a virtual marae DVD that takes you on a tour of a marae and tells you the tikanga (protocol) of a marae.
We then went to our school hall to take part in a powhiri. We were the manuhiri and were welcomed on by Kowhai Whanau. We then were the tangata whenua and welcomed Rimu Whanau. During the rest of the day we had a rotation where we did titi torea, art and made ika harakeke (flax fish).
