On Wednesday was the Kapa Haka Festival!
We waited backstage for 1 minute then we nervously walked on stage!
I am in the 2nd row of girls.
The first song we sang was E Te ariki. Matiria ( Matiria is one of our Kia) said Whakapiri and we bunched together.
Nekiatu , Matiria said and we unbunched and sang U taina. The second time round singing girls sang U taina and boys sang the Utaina haka as girls walked to the back and boys went to the front.
Next was the Wainui haka and the Kamate haka.
We learnt a new song and poi called Rona. The second time singing it girls walked through through to the front and boys went back. The third time singing it the front row of girls went down on on their knees so the second row became 1st row.
The last song was Wainui E.The second time through everyone eventually made it off the stage.
Once we had finished our performance and Nui and Wai did too we sand our school song together.
