Visit to the Whare Akoranga

Te Hiringa went for a visit to the Whare Akoranga at Greymouth High school on Monday. We went to look at th carvings on the front of the Whare Akoranga and listen to the story behind what each of the carvings meant. Whaea Catherine told us the story of how Aoraki and his brothers became the Southern Alps as they huddle on the back of their upturned waka. We also played games, sang waiata and did our mihi.
