Orakei Marae visit 14/15 August 2009



On Friday night 14 August Toyah and Michelle had a sleep over at the Orakei Marae with a group of Early Childhood Teachers.












We went there because we wanted to see the Orakei Marae close up!












....and because we wanted to learn more about biculturalism.



















We slept inside the wharenui.













which had been severely fire damaged some years ago.


















We really enjoyed the session we had on weaving with flax.













We learnt how to make flowers with flax. We were pretty good!















It was a great way to spend a wild, wet and windy weekend!
