The Kahurangi Maori Dance Company



On Monday the 13th of August we were fortunate enough to have a Maori
Dance Company come to our school. They preformed a show called Maori Myths & Tribal Legends. They used string to tell stories.
They performed shows such as Hatupatu And The Bird Woman.
The whole school watched the show.
Later that day the year 4’s and up participated in a Te Reo Kori Workshop. We did 4 different exercises.
1. Using a Poi
2. Ti Titorea –stick games
3. Hu Ha – Ringaringa-hand games
4. Using Ti rakau or Taiaha and hand stories.
We really enjoyed the show and the workshop, we thought it was a great experience.

My goodness you were very quick to get this onto your blog, Shyanne and Holly. It sounds like you had lots of fun in the workshop.
Great writing skills. I like the way that you listed the activities. This made it very easy to read. Mrs C.
