Marae visit C.C.

On Tuesday 27th my classroom and room 14 went to Edgewater college marae and in maori they call it Te Taha Wai. We did some fun activities, one of them we made our own kowhaiwhai designs. On the other activity the people at the marae gave us a piece of sheet and we added the patterns from the ancestors and made our own patterns. When I started having fun they said we had to stop. They said a male usally calls us onto the marae but there were no males available so the ladies did. After that we went to the bus and were on another journey to Mangemangaora reserve. When we got there we put out our tarpaulin and had lunch. After 10 minutes we started walking. We started hearing the birds sing, we also saw some tiny waterfalls. We saw some amazing houses next to an estuary that came from Raglan. When we got to the top we could clearly see the gigantic estuary. We  had to climb the fence and then lots of people sprinted up the hill. Then people started stepping in cow poo. My friend dropped his camera in poo. When we got back to the bus I saw a few cows and I really wanted to pat them. Back at school we had to do some boring work..
