BACK TO SCHOOL 2021
This year we have been visiting to the places in our pepeha. We have been learning the stories that fit In with Hamanatua,Maungarua and Te Poho O Rawiri.
Our school pepeha
Hamanatua
Hamanatua is the stream in our pepeha.We left school to head to Hamanatua about 10.00.It was not that tiring but other kids thought it was pretty exhausting. We had brain food at the beach and stayed in the rusty shelter under the lookout.We squeezed through a gap in the wall because the part at the front was too tall to climb up. That is the Hamanatua trip.
Maungarua
Next, we walked up Maungarua.Yes it was tiring and my legs were aching like crazy. My shoes were too small and they were squeezing my toes till they started to get blisters. I didn't want to walk all the way to Maungarua and up it.When we got to the Maungarua, I immediately started too trudge up the mountain. We got up the mountain and the view was amazing! But trust me, you do not want to walk up that hill. You'd be toasted no matter the weather. Now, that is the story of walking up Maungaroa.
Moving On To Te Poho O Rawiri
In week three we rode the bus to te poho o rawiri.We had to wait in the hot sun on the grass for a while before the guardians of te poho o rawiri welcomed us in.She told us some stories of the olden days when her grandmother was alive and did the role she did. ZShe taught us some songs, and that was te poho o rawiri.
What is a pepeha
A pepeha is a group of things your family is close too. The main parts of a pepeha is the mountain,river and in New Zealand your marea. Other things in a pepeha are things like your Mum and Dad's name, last name and where in the world you live or come from.
