Kapa Haka Exchange 2015

Last Friday the kapa haka went to Waterloo school to participate in our annual kapa haka exchange with Waterloo and Boulcott School. We had a wonderful time seeing the other schools perform! Here we are giving it our best!See if you can spy our new uniforms.

Headbands

Today at Tikanga Club we made headbands!! Kapahaka groups sometimes wear headbands as part of their costume when they perform.  Last week we learnt about the KORU so today we designed our own Maori pattern onto a headband. Lots of us used the koru shape!! Check some of us out below-

Tino pai tamariki....

Maranga Mai - (Action Song)

Karanga te komako
Ka puta mai te wero nei
Ki te whai ao, te ao marama
Maranga te iwi
Me tu tahi te tangata
Kia puawai, kia waimarie

Maranga ki te pono
Whaia ra te tika....

E kore au e ngaro e, E ngaro eeee

He kakano au i ruia mai, i ruia mai

he kakano au i ruia mai

I rangiatea aaa

E kore au e ngaro e, e ngaro e
