Kapa Haka performance Term 3

For the last few weeks, our whole school has been practising for the Te Ohonga o Ngāpuhi Kapa Haka performance.

We had waiata training from Whaea Lainie and Whaea Gaylene.

We performed He Honore, Toro Mai, Tutira Mai Nga Iwi, Te Pou, Magic People and the Haka.

We learned the importance of singing with a clear voice and opening our mouths wide. We also learned to show pride in our performance so it clearly shows when we sing that we are proud of our culture.

Here is a photo of our last practice on the performance day.

Here is our performance which was live-streamed on Facebook.

Our Term 2 Assembly

 

Week 4 of term 2 was room 6's turn to run the school assembly.

We showcased some of the work we have been doing for Te Reo Maori and Cybersmart.

Tamariki took turns presenting their work and did really well with speaking with confident clear voices so they could be heard.

We also said goodbye to Whaea Lee. She finished working to go on maternity leave. We will miss her but we know she will come and visit us. 

We now have Whaea Leah as a Teacher Aid in our room.
