So, on Thursday the whole nui syndicate got packed and ready to go to the... Marae! Now, I packed on Tuesday so I was ready to go. We would have to get there between 8:30 and 9:00. My dad dropped me off around 8:30 or earlier, wasn't to sure, ANYWAY, when we got there there was a maori guy that had the moustache of the month and he talked to us in maori, it was cool but honestly I did not understand one single word he said. Then we got told lots of cool stories about the marae, THEN we did the nose to nose thing and our powhiri and that's that!
After that we had shared lunch, and... ROTATIONS... dun dun duuuuun! Rotations was fun, we got to do lots of games such as string games, raka games, and lots more! Than we had lunch, MORE ROTATIONS, and make our beds, that was not that bad, For dinner we had NACHOS which were really yum. And our... Performance, we DESTROYED it. (as in we did really good) and last, bedtime! I had a book and I tried reading but I just really didn't feel like it. in the morning everyone was talking and me to, I was talking with my friend Zion. We had to wake up after a while and pack away our bags and all our sleeping stuff. Awesome.
Then we did our powhiri for the little kids that came to the marae. We didn't stay for much longer, we had some rotations then free time and we got our bags out on the court, MORE free time and then the buses came! When we got
back to school it was a bit past 2:00 so we decided to watch a movie! B
uuut that didn't work, the movie kept lagging and lagging so we just listen to music for the rest of the afternoon. Then the bell rang and we went home! So that's my marae trip, hope you enjoyed!
