Maori & Pacific Island Festival

We have had the most awesome day ever.
We had to be at school early so that we could get our face painted and get into our costumes.  Then we went by bus to the Edgar Centre.

We were quite nervous waiting for our turn.
There were heaps of schools there performing and some of them had tiny wee kids, like 2 year olds, and others were high schools.

                                                     While we waited for our
 turn, we watched some of the other schools.  Kavanagh was really good and the boys made a lot of noise when they stamped their feet against the stage.
Soon it was our turn and we all went around the back to get ready to go on stage.  When we were on stage our parents all waved at us so that we could see where they were.

We sang our waiata and the girls used the pois.  The boys did a haka.
It was really cool to be able to see our mums and dads in the audience.


When we finished, we sat back in our seats to watch some more of the show.  We got a huge clap when we finished.  Mrs Tobin and Mrs Baines think that we were the best group.

Thank you to Mrs Mitchell-Bain who taught us all the songs and dances.  We 
really loved it and want to do it again next year - please.
