The Trip To The Orakei Marae

By Rogan Lang Frazer


When Rm 17 when to the Orakei Marae they were welcomed by a Whaea that sang to them in Maori about the big war that happened thirty years ago, it was WWII. Then when they were inside they learnt about the Fire last Year and Maori heritage.

Then they got told about the Maori Waka, this can hold one hundred and eighty, one hundred and twenty to row and sixty to rest in the middle. They learnt the One Tree Hill tree wood is there drying out for a new carving going around New Zealand.

Then they said goodbye and said thank you to the bus driver, parents that help out ,and then went back to school.
