Overnight at the Marae!

On Thursday our whole school went to go to Te Poho O Rawiri Marae, to stay the night. We have been practicing a powhiri, getting ready for the Marae outside for about 2 weeks. The whole of Nui went there to stay the night unless you didn't want to. They also gave you a list for all the stuff you needed to bring on the trip.

We stayed at the Marae for Thursday & Friday. Our parents dropped us of at the Marae between 8:30-8:45. For dinner we had nachos which I was SUPER excited about!When we got ready for bedtime the teachers call out room numbers so you can do whatever you need to do before bedtime.

There's two people on one mattress so that'll be fun.(More like a nightmare, the person next to you could keep you awake the whole night!) By snoring, talking to people all night, shuffling in their bed, sleep talking, etc. There's a lot of stuff they could do to keep you awake)😞 On Friday we all went back on the bus to school so we can go back home!(If you read this blog post please leave a comment)😄 This is a photo of us doing kapa haka, in front of the parents on Thursday night.

Shadehouse Crew!

On Tuesday we went up to the lands farm to do some planting, we planted Harakeke/Flax, Cabbage Trees & I can't remember the rest. We did planting because we are in the shade house crew, our adult that leads the shade house crew is Kauri & theres 9 kids in it.  The kids are me, Hunter, China, Robbie, Matai, Rasmas, Rosie, Caitlin & Angus.

Rasmas was away so he couldn't come, & that made 8 people that could help. We planted around 290 plants in about 3 hours, we finished a bit early so we did some docking. If you don't know what docking is, it's where you get the lambs & Put a ring around their tail, clip the ear.

Next week me, Matai, Robbie & China will probably will go to Sistisons lagoon, we were going to do it today but we thought was going to be bad weather so we canceled it. It was actually really good weather to go planting tho. :( So we probably will leave it till next week. I'll try & get a photo of us when we had just finished planting all the (around) 290 plants.
