Marae Noho

Marae Noho

Last week Elgin school stayed the night at Muriwai Marae. Every year our school visits and learns about the different Marae around our region. Muriwai is special to us because we are friends with the children from Muriwai school. We have also learnt about Te Kuri a Paoa (Young Nicks Head) which is part of Muriwai. Here are a few stories from Room 2 tamariki about their stay at the marae. 

Ko wai tō ingoa?

We are learning our pepeha.

Here is a video of us responding to "Ko wai tō ingoa?"

Do you know your pepeha?

Elgin School Pepeha

Elgin School has their own pepeha.

Here is Room 2 saying their school pepeha.

You can read the pepeha - it is below our video.

Does your school have a pepeha?

Ko wai tō ingoa?

We know the school pepeha and now we have been learning our own pepeha.
We have made recordings of us saying our names too and 
will try to make a movie of it so we can share it.
Some of us were away today so we will add our selfie
as soon as we can.
