The Sunshine Kapahaka - by Hope

One early morning we all woke up to be in the Kapahaka for Tamati's Breakfast Weather show. I was so excited to be on TV with someone famous! I like how the sunrise shines on the beautiful faces in front of Tamati - it was a nice sunny morning.

Kapahaka Pt 5 - by Paenganui

I felt like a Maori chief when I was leading the haka. My responsibility was that I had to get my timing right for when I start my words for the haka. When I got the bit for me to say the haka words, I was the only one that put my hand up. It took a lot of practice for me to get the haka right. Our Maori Teacher Whaea Raewyn was the one who had to get everything ready. I really appreciate what she did for us - thank you.

Kapahaka Pt 4 By Kane

On Friday 18th the Kapahaka group did a practice in front of Room 6 and we gave it our all. Some of the group was frightened to do it for the first time in front of an audience. They was just staring at us and Miss Day and Tienera were filming us. When Paenganui used his loud voice for the Haka, I think Miss Day was frightened and some of Room 6 was too. I think some of Room 6 jumped up from where they were sitting. At the end of the performance everyone was clapping for the group, and then we did it again but with more excitement. It was awesome.
