Kapa Haka Festival!

Recently at our school we participated in a Kapa Haka festival.

This festival is for schools all around Gisborne, our school participates every second year.

It was so much fun and we had been practising for a very long time.

Some of the songs we sang in our bracket were Tu mai ra, Ti hei, Purea nei, E Minaka ana and He honore! I enjoyed this experience so much and wish I could do it again.

Here are some photos of us at our performance.. 

Here are all the front row girls that got to wear a special pui pui!
These are also the outfits that we performed in.

Here is us performing one of our songs on stage.
I am the third one along in the line.

CCA ~ VOCAB

In class we are reading a book called Mrs Frisby & The Rats Of Nimh.
We are reading it for Chapter Chat. Chapter Chat is a New Zealand based company. Many classes around the whole country have signed up to read a certain book every term. Every class has to read a certain amount of pages every week. After we have read the amount of pages assigned to our class we have to answer questions about the story. We also do activities relating to the story. This week I chose to do the vocabulary activity. The vocabulary activity takes words out of the story and we have to find the definition of the words. There are 6 words in total. After you have done your activity you can post it on twitter where everyone that does Chapter Chat can see it. Here is my vocabulary activity!
