Yesterday the Year 3's went to Te Papa. We left school at 9:15am on the bus. First we had to play a card game and we had to put in order what happens in a powhiri. A powhiri is a special welcome onto a marae. We learnt some new words: Tiki is a pendent made from greenstone; koha means gift. We also listened to a mihi (speech) and a waiata (song). The mihi we listened to was about the land and birds becoming extinct and the song was about this too. The waiata always matches the subject of the mihi. It was so much fun.
Afterwards we got to have free time and see other things in Te Papa. We went in the Earthquake House.
