Camp/Day Five

Day five our last time with Chris and Magnus at Ordongo bay. It was very sad because we had to say goodbye to both of them and give them a Hongi as we got into the bus because it was appropriate Maiki said. As we left on the bus everyone straight away sang a Maori song Maiki taught us. Called Ora Mate Kamate. Maiki said that we were going to go see a place called Ura peka peka sadly we weren't able to see the place because a tree fell down on our way to Ura peka peka. So we had to turn around and go back to Auckland then back to Glenbrae school. When we got back to School we did a Haka for Maiki and Mrs Raj gave Maiki a Kowha which means a Gift in Maori. After Maiki droped us off he said he was going to go get some Chicken N Chips Top Taste. And me and Tangi Gaped it home.
