In the classroom we have been learning about Te Reo. On Comic Life we've taken photographs about activities at a marae such as a powhiri. Then we thought carefully about what they might be saying or thinking and tried to use as much maori language as we can. Our visit to the marae has been a great learning experience that has helped us understand what would happen at a marae. We have all experienced what a powhiri is and now know what it is like in action.
This is one of our amazing comics made by Paige and Abbie. On the bottom right corner is a photo of two people (can you guess who they are?) having a hongi, a formal way of greeting, (like a maori way of shaking hands.) A hongi is made by pressing the forehaed and the tip of your nose together with another person.
This is another wonderful comic page. In the bottom right hand corner is a kuia calling to welcome the visitors, the manuhiri, onto the marae. This is called a powhiri, the welcoming ceremony.
On this comic page you can see a wide variety of thinking bubbles, speech bubbles and even one shouting or yelling bubble. In the top left corner is the entrance to the marae, the marae atea, where the powhiri would usually take place.
