 Today we had a  performance on our school stage. 

When the performance group  came through the door they played a putara for their entrance ceremony. The performance group did different maori dances which used ti rakau, poi, taiaha.

Next they explained how to use them and what they were for. 

They also performed a haka for the school, then the kapa haka boys also performed a haka for the people and the parents who came. 

At the end we played a game called Maui and matou. Maui means left and matou means right. To play this game you have to have a stick and when someone says Maui you let go of your stick and go to the other one near you and it is the same for matou.
