On Tuesday Mamaku 3,Pohutakawa 3, Totora 3, and Rata 4 went to the Arahura Marae. When we first got to the Marae we had to stop at the gate and walk slowly because it is showing respect to the ancestors. Once we got to the wharenui we had to take our shoes off. Then Matua T did a long speech and we then sang a song followed by a hongi. Then we went to the other side of the building and got some food there was cake apples and mini pies. When we were finished eating we went back to do our mihis. I learnt that the wharenui is also know as the body of Tuhuru.
