OTAMATEA MARAE Year 3 and 4 Camp 2017

One Wednesday the Year 3 and 4’s drove in a car to the Marae. We learnt about Māori. On the first day we walked to the beach. In the water it was sharp so we had to move very slowly because it was very sharp. The next day we drove to Batley beach. After that we walked back to the Marae. On the way back some kids found crabs and rocks. I was freaked out. I picked up a crab. It nipped me! We saw a dead eel and stingrays. They were stinky and smelly. The next day we had lunch and guess what we had for lunch? We had yummy rolls. I made my one. I wanted another one but we weren’t allowed. That night we had a concert. All of the shows ere cool and funny. Even my one. My favourite one was the teachers. At the end I was tired and drowsy. By Danielle Fergus - Year 3, Room 9

At the Otamatea Marae, we were super lucky to have Whaea Mina staying with us. She brought along her guitar so that we could sing songs. We also learn’t the Poi and heard about some amazing stories. Thanks Whaea Mina!!

Other rotation activities that we were able to participate in on camp were: Rakau sticks - we learnt how to communicate with a partner and tap the rakau stick to the beat of the song e papa waiari with Miss Haddow. String games - Mr A taught us lots of tricks and games to play with a piece of string. We had to concentrate and think really hard about what we were doing. Fry Bread - Miss Neal taught us how to make fry bread, we even got to eat it afterwards. It was delicious!
