Kapa Haka Challenge

 So last week on Friday all the houses had to do a haka for a challenge, loudest/proud/outstanding haka wins. Sadly Sandringham won but I don't even know how they won, like Marlborough was like the definition of amazing when we did our haka. It took a whole week to learn the haka and that was pretty easy because I knew it from last year. The only difficult thing about the haka is that most of the Marlborough girls (including me) were really quiet during the haka practices, but we were so good up on stage! If I ever get to do this haka again, maybe I'll try my best to go all out. I said maybe 😃👍 

Do you think Marlborough was the best? If not, why?

                               Here is a short clip of Marlborough's haka

                                                                        


Pretty awesome right! 💁

Tongan Language Week Blog Post

 Tongan Language Week. 

Ki ora, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Bula vinaka, Namaste, Yeoboseyo, Hola, and Bonjour!

Last week during Tongan I was learning the Ma'ulu'ulu and it was really fun!! I didn't learn anything new other than the dance, it was new to me and it was my first dance with the whole of Room 3 performing in the hall. It was so :0 having to look at everyone staring at you while you're dancing on stage. It was a great experience for me to represent my culture, yes I am Tongan 😏 I also did some Tongan patterns but I couldn't finish in time because my table was mocking my art and I was very offended, as in a joke of course! I also did cross country on Wednesday and I came 2nd to last! :) Better than last year where I came last last, like I came last. I moved up a step, I'm proud of that 😌 Thank you for taking your time to read my blog post I appreciate it! I don't have a picture of my art or the cross country pics, sorry.
