Today we had
a visit from Manu from Te Manawa as part of our Maoritanga topic. He gave us further
information about maraes and what roles people have on them. He also showed us
lots of traditional Maori instruments and tools. It was fascinating to listen
to them!! At the end he taught us a waiata.
It sounds as if Manu was a very clever man who knew a lot about Maori history and things that are important traditions for Maori.
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting looking at all the musical instruments and learning about how carving is done. I enjoyed listening to your waiata.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a very interesting visitor room 2. Its wonderful you have the opportunity to have someone come and share such special knowledge about maori tanga with you all. Id love to hear your waiata, are you going to preform it in assembly?
