Ko tenei te wiki ō te reo Māori. This week is Māori Language Week. On Rāhina (Monday) we had our opening ceremony and we were very fortunate to have Waimahia Intermediate kapa haka rōpu come and perform for us. Here is a short snippet here:
On Rāhoroi (Wednesday) to mark 50 years of the Māori language petition that was presented to parliament in 1972, we had a whole school poi celebration. Every child in the school had a poi that was the same colour as their house, gathered under the sunshade for assembly at 12pm. We sang and performed “E rere taku poi”. Here is a short snippet of our event here:
Today was our final closing assembly to Te Wiki ō te reo Māori. Our Kapa Haka roopu that has learners from Y1-6 performed. We had lots of items from other classes and teams too. Here is kapa haka roopu and Maunga team haka.
