Hukanui Marae Visit

A big thank you to all the parents and caregivers that joined us on our visit to Hukanui Marae. It was a wonderful experience to attend as a whole school. We all thought our Kapa Haka children were fantastic.
Inside the Marae, there were lots of kowhaiwhai patterns and people. The place was so nice. They were talking for a long time but I was still listening. The big boys did the hongi greeting and the girls had to shake hands.

Yesterday, Hamilton East School drove to the Hukanui Marae in four or five buses.  At the marae there is a gateway with kowhaiwhai patterns.  In the wharenui there are pictures of ancestors.  After we finished, we sketched a tree nearby and something that is smaller than our hand.  Our Kapa Haka group sang wonderfully without music.
