Most years wainui beach school does the Kapa Haka festival. We practice every week from the beginning of the year to term 4 when it is time for the festival. Kapa Haka is a time to show NZs maori history. The boys do the Haka and the girls do the poi. We all sing together and sound amazing. The festival takes place at the showgrounds.
Kapa Haka is one of my favourite events of the year. heaps of our parents and family come to see us sing our songs on stage. This year when I arrived at school a ran off to the hall for them to put on something with ink on it. Then we get a photo of us with black on our chin(which I think is weird.)Then went to get black lipstick on. We were already in our uniforms and ready to on stage and sing.
Ring!ring!, the bell had rung. We ran to our class and put our belongings in a bucket. "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21." the teacher counted our heads to make sure we were all there. I was so excited although I was really nervous. Broom, went the bus. We drove off while we sang our Kapa Haka songs.That made it seem like such a long time. Beep the bus stopped. We went to the grass behind the stage building. we went through our Kapa Haka songs and walked behind stage. The announcer called as on the stage. We sang our first song then our second then our two Haka and our last two song we were finally done. I had done it.kapa haka
