Powhiri

Today we have been learning and understanding what a powhiri is. I found how they welcome the manuhiri in interesting and my next steps is to add more information

A powhiri is a Maori tradition. It is a welcoming ceremony. In a powhiri you will find the manuhiri (visitor) the Tangata Whenua (People of the marae) and more interesting guests. 

You will also notice that when they walk the manuhiri into the marae will be a lady in the front leading them in and another lady at the main area singing a greeting to welcome the manuhiri.


The Tangata Whenua will sing there waiata and at the end the manuhiri will line up and they will do hongi with the Tangata Whenua.

Argument

Hello, Today I have been writing and learning a type of writing called a Argument. I enjoyed writing about why water is important. I found my fact at the bottom interesting.

Why is water important in life? For this argument I am going for this statement. Here are 3 reasons why it is important in life.


My first statement is water is really important for parts in your body like your brain. Because when you drink water your body can carry oxygen to your blood and also did you know that water can clean your blood inside you?.


My second statement is water is also a NEED for the world because water is very important for human beings, animals, Plants and land.


My last statement is that A person can survive without food for more than 30 days but less than a week without water without water we wouldn't survive.


Did you know that A family of 4 in NZ uses about 233,000 litres of water annually???
