 Explain what happens at a marae

When you go to a marae you either go there because you might be going for a talk, tangi or funeral. These are important things to do when you’re at a marae. Sometimes there could be things to do like cleaning up after a funeral or tangi. I have been to a tangi and funerals. The saddest time is when my papa Hangiroa passed away when I first saw my papa in his coffin I cried out all of my tears. I didn’t want to let him go from my life.

Talking at marae is talking about what you might plan for - where the body is going or what you might be doing for the plan of where people might be sleeping. Staying at a marae and sorting out the bed situation is easy you just got to pick where you are going to be sleeping. Maybe when you go to a marae and talk they might just be talking about what they are going to be doing on a birthday for someone that passed away to celebrate.

A tangi is when you are being called in by the kaikaranga. When you enter in by the marae you will walk up the center the marae and take off your shoes before entering the building and put them by the side so no one steps on them or trip over them while you’re lifting the body and walking. When your inside you take the body up to the front of the marae there will be pictures up in front of people that passed away and that are people that had their tangi there.
When you go to the marae you have a funeral, a funeral is when somebody passes away you stay at the marae for a little while and after a few days you have a funeral you take the body to their grave for where they get buried. When you go to a funeral it’s really sad to go to a family or friend’s funeral, some people wear black clothes for a funeral because it is a sign of respect for the deceased. When I went to a funeral it is really sad because if it’s your family or a really good friend this will mean that it is really sad, you will most definitely cry.

When somebody passes away you usually have a kai. Everyone loves to have a kai. Before you have it you obviously have to do the tables. When I was at my papa's tangi we had a kai after he got put down in the marae.  We usually have lunch there for the people that stay there and family that are coming from overseas. When I was at my papa Hangarau ́s tangi I helped put out the forks, spoons, knives and the cups for the drinks I also put out the butter, pepper, salt, and bread It was so much fun because I got to set out it with a tray that you can move around with. When I finished I told everyone to come and have a kai they were so hungry.

There you have it five reasons as to why you should read this in case you do not know what these reasons are when you go to a tangi or funeral. These will help you to be confident and not scared to go and for you to meet new family and friends.

Explanation Writing #3

So for the past few weeks, we have been doing Explanation Writing for a week we had to finnish it by the end of the week her is my last and final Explanation Writing.

 What happens at cross country

What happens at the cross country?

When we want to go to the cross country the teacher hands out cross country notices to the people that want to go through to cross country. The teacher gives them out and we put them in our bag to take to our parents, then we get our parents to sign the cross country notice so when you parent signs bring it back to your teacher so they know that you’re going so they can put you on the cross country list, so they could expect you to go.

What we take to cross country:

When we go to cross country we take our bags, inside our bags we take our lunch and our drink bottles also the teachers bring a tarpaulin in case the grass is wet. Some fruit for the kids that want some of the kids that didn't bring their lunch.  Also the teachers bring a list so they know that everyone is there and that they’re safe because if they’re not? OPSIE!!! I wonder what's going to happen the teachers are going to have to go look for them?. 

What we do - well we wait:   

First, we put the tarpaulin down then we put our bags on it so when the grass is wet we don't have to carry our bags all around, well we wait so we could have our turn to do our run. When we wait some people go and eat their lunch before they do their run, or they just go and buy them something to eat. Well, some people are running the others cheer them on because they want to, some people are just sitting down and being nervous or just relaxing before and after their own races.

What happens during the bus trip:

When we're all on the bus the bus is usually loud sometimes somebody sings our kapa haka song on the bus it is really fun but sometimes it can be too loud, some people are just sitting down and being quiet and the rest of the people are being loud. I'm quite sure the teachers get sick of all the loud noise on the bus.  Some people are sneaking food or fizzy drinks on the bus - NAUGHTY? Kids, when we are on the bus most of the kids want to sit at the back because they think they are cool but they're not well (maybe kind off).

What year goes first when we are in cross country:

When were at the cross country we always start with the juniors then we go to the seniors. It goes year 5 boys then year 5 girls, then we go year 6 boys then year 6 girls, then we go year 7 boys then year 7 girls last but not least we have year 8 boys then year 8 girls here is all of the youngest to oldest cross country order.

Conclusion:

So there you have it five reasons as to what happens at cross country these reasons will help you know what happens at cross country. And for you to go and have a go.
