After the powhiri we had morning tea, then got into our rotation groups (I was in group 4) and started our rotations, so one group would go to a workshop, then a bell would ring and we would move to the next rotation. The rotations lasted half an hour, except for one activity which took up an hour. first up for us was rako sticks and string games, then the Museum came along to teach us about some Maori games. Lunch was really boring because the playing was shorter than the eating time!
After that me and Mac got our sleeping bags ready, but then I realised I forgot to bring my water and pillow! Then we had a bit of free time, then it was time for diner, we had nachos and for desert there was lemonade ice blocks. Next we had to get our beds set up and then have some chill time. At 8:30 my Mum came over to give me my pillow and drink bottle.
I woke up at nearly 4:00 in the morning and had to wait until 6:00 when everyone else had woken up. Then we lined up our bags for later and waited for breakfast, it was spaghetti on toast or wheat bix. After breakfast we packed up the wharenui to welcome the wai syndicate. While we were waiting Aunty Buba taught us us a song called Mama Panda, it's about how the Nannies make the bread for breakfast and dinner. For our first rotation of the day we went on a big walk up Kaiti hill, it was fun but I was super thirsty until we came back and had a big drink of water. Next we had lunch, it was way better than the first day, then we had to pack our bags and get them ready for the buses. In the end, the Marae trip was amazing. I wish we could do it again. Bye!
