Visiting Matamata College Marae

I enjoyed going to the marae, because we sang some waiata and ate some kai. I had a sweet cookie and a raspberry drink.  After we played some games, there was stilts, writing activities and taiaha.  Trinity


This morning in the fog we walked to Matamata College.  I enjoyed playing the activities with the college students.  Ethan


For our marae visit we started with a welcome which was short and sweet.  We all loved the refreshments, and the games after our refreshments. Ngaro


This excellent morning we went to Matamata College.  Firstly we had to walk on the footpath to get there.  When we got to the college we followed our boss Whaea Louise, while Whaea Nga was welcoming us on to the marae.  After we were welcomed we played traditional games.  It was so much fun, it was one of my favourite Firth school days.  Lynea


Going on the stilts was fun because I tried to stay on them and not fall off.  Damon


This morning we visited the massive Matamata College.  We firstly presented our greetings and then we had morning tea.  There was yummy fruit, delicious biscuits and a sweet drink.  After we ate we played some traditional games.  We played with stilts, drew the marae and played a passing game.
They were all very fun.  We then finished and performed a waiata to finish.  Then we went back to school.  Jordan


This morning we went to the College with other classes from Firth.  Some of the college students used to attend Firth Primary.  I enjoyed learning about the marae and I had to thank the whaea for hosting us.  Kiowa
