The marae stay.

On thursday and friday we went to a marae and we stayed the night and on thursday we went straight to the marae instead of going to school we went to the marae when i got there i pot my ger in the class line and then we had a bit of free time and i walked around talking to my friends and then we got called in. The teachers did a roll and then we stood up and practised our songs why we waited for the people in the marae to get ready for our welcoming to the marae. Then we got welcomed into the marae. We learnt all about the names of the patterns that are in the marae and why they chose those pacific patterns. The patterns told different stories. we also sang one of our school waiata.
