Powhiri

Powhiri is a formal Maori welcome. We did a powhiri for the new students and staff at our school.

We all got into position...we are the tangata whenua (hosts)

The kaikaranga called to the manuhiri (visitors)

The manuhiri are coming in

The speaker for the visitors offers some words of wisdom
