Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learnt that…….

  • The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
  • The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
  • The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
  • There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
  • Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.


We have focused on some key concepts when doing this learning.
These are listed and explained in the table below.

Treaty of Waitangi



This is my compare and contrast map

One thing that I found interesting is that the Treaty was signed in 1840.
Something that I would like to find out is how many people were at the first signing.
