The Marae

This term the whole school went to a Marae. It was really fun! First we went into the wharekarakia also known as the meeting house, and we learnt about the Marae.  After that we had something to eat! The Marae provided us with water, hot chocolate, fruit, scones and biscuits, after we ate, we ran around outside for a while until it was time to leave. Before we got onto the buses, the year 5 and 6 boys performed the haka to the Marae staff members!  

The Sun

The sun is a clock

ticking around the world.

It is a flower 

blowing through the universe.

The sun is a flame

burning the earth.

It is a disco ball 

dazzling the eyes of millions.

The sun is a balloon 

floating up in space.

It is a pupil

looking down at the world.
