Trip to Te Oro - Matariki

Glenbrae School had trip to Te Oro at Glen Innes. First we began with a Powhiri, as soon as that was finished we got split into groups to go work with the people over there. My group was the Clay group, we were with Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy, they we the people were gonna tech us how to make Patterns with Clay. The first thing that we learn from them was a Piko, a Piko is a patterns that Maori people use to create carvings in those day but they still use it at this time, They were teaching us how to draw it on paper and Clay, when we were finished with that we move on to Taniwha, we were so exited to draw Taniwha, when Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy teach  us how to draw Taniwha on our paper we were ready to draw Taniwha on Clay. When they gave us clay and water we started to draw, it was so fun drawing Taniwha on clay because it is cool to do what Maori people use to do in the olden days, when we were finished with our Taniwha drawing Whaea Whetu and Chop Boy put our drawing on to the paper that we drawled before, when we were finished with that we sat on ground to learn a Maori song, after learning that song we said thank you for having us, then they said your welcome in Maori, then they sing a song to farewell us back to school. When we were finished we ate our lunch, then hopped on the bus back to school.
