Kapa haka performance

On Friday our kapa haka group performed for the local kindergartens. They sung He honore and performed Rona, using the poi and the taiaha. They performed an action song called Tuia then finished off with a haka caled Ka Mate. It was a wonderful experience for our tamariki and was an awesome opportunity to foster tuakana teina relationships.
