A fab two days of sharing stories and kai.....we really enjoyed welcoming our friend Dick Weir as manuhiri to a special mat time hui.We loved hearing his engaging style of storying, and being involved in stories....Rata and the totara tree, Māui and the sun, the Lion and the Mouse, and The Frog Prince of Northland!
We were like a kebab making machine as we made lots of yummy treats to share, and the novelty of having a shared picnic lunch on the soft fall and on the deck was so much fun!
The mark of a great storyteller is that they can hold their audience enthralled for an hour! My 7 year old self was transported back into my bed listening to Dick Weir on the radio on a Sunday morning. What a treat for children and teachers alike!
