Peeking out of a small window of the bus room 17 and room 1 saw the beautiful Orakei Marae.
The students gradually walked behind the generous women who welcomed them with a traditional karanga (welcoming chant).
Bob told them some of his dazzling stories about the land and areas that are tapu (sacred).
Bob then led the students to the waka. “ Its enormous “ said Miranda from room 1.”This waka was a very beautiful waka with a lot of history,” Said bob. Bob was very amused by how the student reacted when they found out this waka was hand carved.
Sadly Mr Wilson And Mrs Lawson announced they had to leave the marae.
