Te Awhina Marae Trip

Yesterday was the day we did our Marae trip to Te Awhina Marae in Motueka. It was very interesting. We got a tour of the marae. We were shown intricate carvings of ancestors.

The marae used to be a hospital ward, but was renovated.
There is an ancient church near the marae, and we were given a tour.
We learned a lot of things and we had a shared kai (meal).

It was a very interesting visit and we learned a lot about Maori history.
