KAPA HAKA FUN DAY November 2012
On Thursday we performed in the Kapa Haka Fun Dday at the memorial hall . The special Whanau items were Haere Mai, Ko Koe Ra, poi, haka, Manawa Mai and He Honore. When we performed the crowd went wild. I was smiling. My favourite part was the haka.
KAPA HAKA AT THE TURANGAWAEWAE FESTIVAL 8/3/13
On Friday the 8th of March 2013 the Whanau class performed at the Turangawaewae Festival. The songs we sang were Utaina, Haere Mai Nga Iwi, E Te Kokara, Anei Ra Te Kura and Hutia Te Rito. After we finished performing we went to go have fun. At the festival there were 2 bouncy castles and go karts to play on. And to eat there was Aunty Mere's famous fried bread, hangi, Indian food, toffee apples and other stuff. A favourite memory of the night for me was when I was on the bouncy castle packed with heaps of people. My favourite food was Aunty's fried bread. I ate 3 or 4!!
