OUR NEW KAPA HAKA TUTORS!!

This term we received New Kapa Haka Tutors : Whaea Binnie and Matua Uts

They are so kind and they motivate us to learn faster and to be confident! . One thing I learnt that was really important is NO EXCUSES just like the BBM members said. During this whole term of term 2 we got to learn 3 new Kapa Haka Songs. And if you are in

Kapa Haka (esp. the seniors) when you start or join something commit to it!

Karanga (Powhiri)

Yesterday we had a powhiri for special guest that came along and it was my first time doing a Karanga at a powhiri. When Miss Tupou was walking the E.R.O people I was so nervous also E.R.O stand for Education review office. When Miss Tupou walked them tot he deck and when they were in front of me I was so nervous and my heart was beating so so fast I couldn't breath properly. But when I said " E nga mana e nga reo nga hau e wha haere mai haere mai haere mai ra" and I finished I was so happy I got it done. 

Powhiri

Yesterday we had a Powhiri for the new kids that comes to Glen Taylor School. And the Kapa Haka kids performed and I was in the Kapa Haka. It is very cool to see how they bless new people into our school. Well done to Josephine,Savanah and Kayla for doing the karanga with wonderful and powerful voices!
