Taiaha wānanga

During Mãori Language week a group students from Victory Primary School went to Whakatū Marae for a taiaha wãnanga.



Only boys went to the wãnanga. They learnt mau rakau and taiaha. They also stayed the night at the marae.

Matua Solomon taught them mau rakau and games and told them stories. "It was so cool," said Morpheus.

"We got to play games and learn at the same time and we got told stories of our Atua." said Wiremu.

"I liked the story where Tūmatauenga stood up to Tawhirimatea," said Addison.

"The game that I liked was heke heke," said Oho.

Tereme liked walking in Miyazu and seeing the shooting star. "We got up at 5:30 and went to Miyazu."
