On Wednesday 2nd September Year 3 went to Te Papa on the bus to learn about powhiri. A powhiri is a special welcome onto a marae. First we looked at a waharoa which is a doorway to a village. Waha means mouth and roa means long. So the waharoa is a large entrance way. Next we went to some pounamu - greenstone used for making necklaces for special people. We learnt what wero means a challenge and koha means a gift.
I liked the part when we watched the 3d squid and the part when we got to have a free choice.
