After our noho we needed to write a recount about our experience

at the Marae Noho

WALT:Organise and follow the structure of a recount

Our Marae Noho

“This is so COLD”  Someone said behind me as we were walking barefoot through
a cold puddle to the entry of Kohewhata marae.
Last Thursday the senior classes of Tautoro school and the Teachers,
Parents and Principal all went to Kohewhata marae for a marae noho.
The library was getting full of big bulky bags while the students were
unpaetionly running around.
“The bus is here!” Miss Simeon yelled out to everyone.

Minutes later the buses arrive. The first bus was fuller than cans of sardines .
So the bus driver said “go on the other bus,this bus is too packed”
So Jahnel and I went into the second bus. While we were waiting for our arrival Jahnel
and I started playing hand games like slime yuk yuk, apple on a stick and
Lisa the warrior.

Finally,the bus arrived at the marae. We had to get the bags and then a group
of boys would collect them from us and put them in a neat pile.
Then we had to take our shoes off because it was flooded.
“Girls in front,boys behind” Whaea Mary said to us.

“Why is it so cold” Ngaro said as we all were walking through ice cold cold water.
“Haere mai,Haere mai,Haere mai ra” said Whaea Mary as she welcomed us into the
marae. “Woah,look at these carvings” I said in my head as the carvings kept getting
better and better as we went into the marae.

“Activities” I said so excitedly. My favourite activity was making koauau.
The koauau was the best activity ever.

“I am so so so so hungry” I said in my head. I lined up and then
Miss Simeon plated us some food.Taste test time.
We had so cottage pie,cabbage mix and plum pie.
The cottage pie was delicious and the cabbage mix was delicious as well.

In conclusion I can’t wait for next year and I hope the food is going to be as
great as last thrusday.
