Kapahaka

How many schools were there? I have no idea. But it was so fun peforming infront of those hundreds of people. On Wednesday, our kapahaka group went and peformed at the kapahaka fun day. We sang 6 really fun songs.

Our outfits were cool, the girls had a short black dress with a green koru on the side. The boys had a long black sash with a green stripe on it. It must have been really effective. We were told to wear green stone necklaces, or bone carving necklaces.

All through the day, Whaea Tania asked Maori quiz questions, and taught us new phrases like "rare rakau" which means "lollipop"

It was really cool peforming for other schools, as well as seeing their pefromances, learning heaps and coming together as one.
