Our Maori Learning

Every second Monday Room 3 goes to the hall to learn Maori with Whaea Marie and Whaea Jean. We sing Maori songs with actions, learn Maori myths and legends and yesterday we learned a new dance with rakau (sticks) and the boys learned a haka!

The boys left the class and spent only 5-10 minutes before coming back to present this haka! Didn't they do a fantastic job! We were so impressed!

While the boys were working on their haka the girls practised using the rakau. They learnt a new move which involves 2 taps on the ground, then they toss the rakau and catch both at the same time...tricky!
