Special place in our community

We have learnt so much.... one of the highlights of my learning would be structure and language.I learned how to structure my writing appropriately and also how to use a range of language features.   

A special place in the community.

A marae is the most special place in the community.The highest priority on a marae is a tangihanga. A tanginga is a sad occasion on a marae.most marae are connected to all marae. by whanau hapu and iwi. A building within a marae is the maori’s turangawaewae, home belonging. When manuhiri have never been to a particular marae before a kaumatua (elder) in the group will often perform a protective karakia in the morning or in the evening.

A marae is the most special place in the community. Because we get to have meetings celebration educational workshops and more. In a marae you will always see people on the taumata.The marae usually consist of a wharenui meeting house with a marae atea. Mihimihi or mihi are speeches in which people introduce themselves. A mihi is performed together by a pepeha which is a way to introduce yourself, which is called a mihimihi. People introduce themselves by a pepeha to know where they are from or connected to family.

A special place to all maori is the marae.celebrations making connections to learning and knowing the tikanga around the grounds of the marae. And even all the precious carvings all over a marae. A marae is a place of happiness, A place of peace, A place where whanaungatanga is built.

In conclusion, a special place in the community is our marae. Why?,
because it  is important to make connections back with your whanau. It is also important for
having celebrations. Last but not least Tangihanga. Tangihanga is a sad place to
be. It is where you learn to be maori.

A marae is a place to cheerios memories with family from near and far, a place almost any homeless to stay.it is a place anyone can call home.
