The marae is important for the maori because it’s like a another house for
anyone. They do a powhiri if it’s your first time.You can have birthdays there
and weddings. Sometimes they have meeting there. In the winter people
that are homeless get to stay a the marae for a couple of nights in Auckland.

Tēnā koe Ayah. Well done for using your writing and drawing skills to share your learning about marae and wharenui. It was good to see you organised your writing into two parts: one part about the structure of the building and one part about what might happen there.
ReplyDeleteYou needed a lot of support to complete this writing so your next step is to work on planning your work carefully so you know what to write about. We also need to work on writing paragraphs rather than just listing facts.
Great to see you have learnt a lot about wharenui. Well done.
