Kia Ora everyone. After a long holiday I am back at school and busy busy busy. Speeches, Kapahaka, Po Panikeritanga, Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori, WIMs sevens and most of all the Band Slam. In week one I was sick and unable to come to school so I was quarantined! Here is more info on my week.
Excellence night.
On Tuesday night we had a Po Panikeritanga (excellence night) where the extension Maori students showcased their learning/teachings so far this year. I said a speech about Te Puea and I sung a himene (a hymn in Maori) called Hine E hine otherwise known as the famous song Goodnight Kiwi. Bringing parents into tears we had a big feed. It was a good night. Even a student said their in full Maori.
Haka Extravaganza
During Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori on Friday we did a big school haka competition between the houses. Composed by our very own all boys class teacher Matua Pou we blew the roof off our ALC. As far as we know a video was uploaded onto facebook and it has had over 7,000 hits.
Band Slam
Band Slam was pretty awesome with hard core rockers and a full house. Don't want to spoil the moment so this is all I will say about it.
It is time I headed off and got onto the current week's post. Until then so long.
