Hikoi ki a Hukanui Marae

On a bright sunny Monday morning, Hamilton East school took a trip to Hukanui Marae. 

Learners, teachers and whānau were welcomed in to the marae with a traditional powhiri. 

We then got a chance to sit in the wharenui (Tuturuapapa) and hear some of the history of the marae. 

Following that we sketched some of the sights of the marae that we found interesting.
