The Wharenui 
A wharenui represents an important Maori ancestor. It is also like a book because
it has so many stories.Sometimes people go there for happy things like weddings
and birthdays but sometimes they go for a sad reason like a funeral.

At the top of the wharenui is the koruru/head. The maihi/Arms come out beside
the koruru. Behind the Koruru is the tahuhu/spine. The heke/ribs come off the
tahuhu.In the middle of the wharenui is a big and wide pole. That is the
poutokomanawa/heart. At the end of the maihi there are the raparapa/hands .
The back wall has photos of the people from the tribe who has past away.

Tēnā koe Ilish. Well done for using your writing and drawing skills to share your learning about wharenui and marae. You girls did and amazing diagram! It was good to see in your writing that you explained the structure of a wharenui and some reasons for why people might go there.
