Powhiri

Our class, along with our families were welcomed into the St James whanau through a powhiri, which is a Maori welcoming ceremony. Maia's mum called us into the hall and Mr Durston spoke for us. The kapa haka group sang a waiata for us and we sang one too. We did a hongi with the teachers.

Here is a photosnack with some photos Mrs Edwards took at the Powhiri.
