KAPA HAKA RECOUNT!
It was Tuesday, and everyone was ready to go. We all had our Kapa Haka uniform on. Kapa Haka is something in the maori culture. Girls get a dress, and boys get to wear a skirt type thing. What you do is you just sing songs in maori.
This year due to covid, we couldn't have the festival, so were videoing it instead. We walked to the school hall and got in lines, when we were all ready we warmed up and got started. The first song we sang last year but the next one was new, meaning we had never heard it we before we learned it.
Now it got a bit tricky, we had to switch places with the boys who were at the back so that they could do their haka. To move we do a haka that girls and boys can both do. So that's what we did and it looked great. You might be thinking the the girls just relax while the boys do the haka, but we have lines to.
After we helped the boys with the haka we walked back up to do the last song. It starts with us all doing a song, but then the boys start to do the haka to the song and the girls sing the song. This is soooo different to doing it on stage.
Over all I felt proud that I was able to have this experience even thought the festival was canceled. A few days later, the videos came out and we watched them as a class. We did so well.
