Today we had the school Powhiri. I thought it was great and really enjoyed having it at the Marae. I was impressed at how well most of you coped doing the hongi with our buddy classes.
I think it was pretty awesome doing a Powhiri for the first time, and also going to the Marai for the first time. I'm looking forward to doing it again. -Moli
That's good! Your lucky you signed up for two! :) I'm singing up for Orchestra and about 4 or 5 other things, but I would have loved to do Kapa Haka, but I don't think I'm pretty good at it, especially prounoucing Maori words.
I can't wait to go back to the Marae and welcome the Yr 7 students next year! It was REALLY cool, looking at the Yr 8's performing and doing the haka. I loved learning how to sing Maori songs that I forgot over the holidays... It really refreshed my mind! I hope other Yr 7's found it fascinating too!
I found the porwhiri really inerestering and really liked the songs that i forgot over the weekend but i still loved hearing all of the refreshing and fluidly words that just rolled off there tough like they had known it for ages. I can't wait to welcome on the yr7s to the marai next year.
It was my first porwhiri aswell It was AWSOME and a really gr8 experience to I started doing Kapa haka but relized that it wasn't my thing well done room 10 we did really well.

I reckon it was awesome. I'm sooo lucky I get to go there for Te Reo and Kapa Haka as well. :)
