KAPA HAKA

The guitar started to play, we slowly walked forward  as Hunter started to sing Tu Mai Ra. We knelt as Hunter sung with lots of mana.  It felt good.  Yesterday, Wainui Beach School went to the Turanganui Schools' Maori Cultural Festival at the Gisborne Showgrounds.  There were heaps of people there and it felt a bit nerve wracking to be on stage!

A Utina A Hi A Utina A Hi all the boys chanted as we marched to the front of the stage. The kaea started to chant, HI Au Au Aue ha HI. After our two hakas the girls walked up between the lines of boys and sung Wainui e. For our last song we sung He Honore .

At the end everyone came off with a smile on their face. I was really proud of myself because  didn't want to do it at first. But I did anyway and I'm proud of myself. Yea. Overall the school did awesome.
