On Thursday we had a special Kaupapa Maori Day.  First we started with a Mihi Whakatakau and welcomed the children from the junior side to the senior side of the school.  We sung waiata and Neve and Sasha shared their mihi on stage!  We met with our buddy class Model 2B and learned how to hongi, then the rest of the class shared their mihi.  After Charlie said a karakia we shared kai (milk and cookies) with the juniors.  After morning tea we made a 3D wharenui with Miss B then we learned how to use rakau with Mrs King.  After lunch we watched the Middle Team Kapahaka perform and saw a poi demonstration.  We sung lots of our favourite waiata with Mrs Yeoman and said thanks for an awesome day!
