Kapa haka - sing off

Last week we sang against each other in an attempt to lift our performance and to work together as a team. We sang different songs and started at the same time.

Did you see the ta moko that the girls wore on their chins? 

We drew ta moko on our chin's for the Mish Mash performance, but we didn't wear them on Tuesday when we welcomed our new teachers. Do you think we should have a 

ta moko when we perform?

Powhiri for our new teachers

We practiced in Room 12 first to warm up our bodies and jog our memory because we haven't sang together for over two weeks! The boys still have their shirts on trying to keep as warm as possible.

We went to the hall to sing as the new teachers came into the hall. 

This is Whaea Char. She shared her mihi with us.

The boys performed the school haka.

Powhiri

Today we are going to welcome two new teachers to our school.

We will try to sing loudly and make them feel welcome by smiling. 

Miss Dee is in Room 8 and Whaea Char in Room 2. 

How will you make them feel welcome? 

Don't forget to tell them your name.

Look back later today to see some photos from our powhiri.
