Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marea. We have learned that…….

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

We have focused on some key concepts when doing this learning.
