This year we participated in our second Polyfest at the Walter Nash Stadium. We practised very hard and showed great determination and discipline. Our school, whanau and teachers were so proud of us. Here are some photos of the event.
This is how we start every Kapa haka session with some karakia.

Poi
We have been learning to use poi in kapa haka. Here are some instructions to make poi and tips on how to use them.
To Make Your Own Poi
To make you will need:
Newspaper,
dacron stuffing or tennis ball (optional)
Coloured paper,
plastic bags or fabric,
String/cord/wool/yarn Scissors
1. The cords should be about 80cm long, so you can also tie around the paper ball.
2. Plait the wool using your choice of colours. Four plait adds an attractive finish to the poi.
3. Squash/manipulate the newspaper/Dacron into a ball (or use tennis ball) and tie one end of the cord around the ball.
4. Cut the coloured paper/plasic bag or fabric into a square about 40cm x 40cm.
5. Place the ball in the middle of the paper/fabric/plastic bag and gather the material over and around the ball.
6. Cut another piece of cord to secure around the opening in the material. So wind it securely around the opening and double knot it.
7. Add a layer of plastic over the Bag Poi and tie as before. This will help to protect them.26 8. Trim the gathered paper with the scissors.
9. Tie knots in the ends of the cord to hold onto as handles.
10. Make another one.
11. Decorate as you wish.
Our new song
We have been learning a new waiata in kapa haka this term. It was written by Matua Whaitari for Fergusson Intermediate and we are very lucky to be adding it to our repertoire. Here are the words and a video of the actions that accompany them.

Ki te moenga uriuri. in my darkened bedroom
Tu ake au and after a while get up
Titiro kit e atarau. to look at the moonlight.
Kei runga ra, It is up there the
Te marama e whiti ana shining moon.
Kei hea Rona Where is Rona?
Kei roto ra. She is in the moon
Piri ki te taha, holding the calabash,
Piri ki te ngaio. holding the ngaio tree.
Aue ra,
e Rona e How sad for Rona!
Aue Rona e
Tena koe, kaue e moe
Hirini Melbourne(our poi song)
Tena koe, kaue e moe

Tena korua, kaua e poturi
Whakarongo ki te tangi a te mohua
Mohua, mohua, tena korua
Tena koutou, kaua e mataku
Ki te tangi a te ruru o te po e
Kou, kou, tena koutou
Kou, kou, tena koutou

(our action song)This video is sung a lot quicker than we sing this song, but you can practise the words and the tune anyway!
Here is a video of our Kapa Haka practising the actions for the song.
E te Hokowhitu a Tū
Kia kaha rā
Kāti rā te hingahinga
Ki raro rā
Mā ngā whaka aro
Kei runga rawa
Hei arahi ki te ara
E tika ai
Whirinaki, whirinaki
Tātou katoa
Kia kotahi rā
