On Wednesday we were the manuhiri. We had to get welcomed on to the school by room two. I think we were good at staying quiet when they were doing their bit in the powhiri. I think we need to improve on our song because we were not loud enough and some of us did not know the words for it. I felt really a little weird when we had to do the hongi the boys/tama and hand shake the girls/kotiro because I have never really done that before.
One Thursday we were the tangata whenua. We had to welcome room four to the marae. I think we were good at the new song te ahroha because we were loud and so it sounded like we were proud of our song. Ruma wha were good at at there song untina and their haka. At the end of kotahitanga week, I am feeling really good that it is all over and it was a amazing experience.
Well done Jake! I wish I could have been there to see and hear you singing.
