“Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai koe” the lady chanted
as she welcomed us onto the Te Waiariki Marae. We were at the Marae and my mind
blew with excitement and fantastic wonder. When I walked into the Marae it had
beautiful carvings, one of them symbolised peace, strength and new life.

As me and Manaia were scampering on the game Ki Oma no one
could pull the tags off me and Manaia. On the last round of Ki oma we were
delighted that no one ripped the tags of us. After that we played a game called
Poitoa. We learnt to perform an underarm
throw with the poi. Whaea Keri gave us a really tough
challenge and told us to catch with the tail. I felt very blissful because I
could catch the tail of the poi.

Accelerating and chasing my peers frantically. I was speeding
to rip Xialo’s tag. Whaea Keri from He Oranga Poutama taught us how to play Ki
Oma.
