Kapa Haka

I really like kapa haka. The reason I like kapa haka is because my mum did it when she was a kid. I also have a lot of my friends in it including: Oisin, Adam, Joesph and Ranjiv. These are two of our songs we have been learning, Papaketitaha and Toia. I really enjoy kapa haka. BYE!

Lets Fly Some Kites

In room 8 we have been making kites and our inspiration was Li Cunxin. He is important because he is in a story we've been reading called The Peasant Prince. In the story Li grew up in China. Li had a home made kite with his wishes tied to it!(He was very poor!!!!) Li went on to become one of the best ballet dancer in the world.  He was taken from his family when he was 11. So we decided to make Chinese kites. The dragon on my kite is a symbol of hope.
