Junior Tikanga Club in Action!

Junior Tikanga Club

Every Friday at junior kapa haka the tamariki have been very busy working with Matua Whaitiri.  He has taught us some great tikanga, waiata, and even a haka. The song he taught us is a special one he wrote about a cheeky fantail!

Each week he gives us a homework task, we need to chat to our whanau about different topics and then we get together and talk as a group the next week.

Photos- Listening to Matua help Logan with his mihi and the kids trying to use poi for the first time.
