Last night, everybody drove to school for the Tau Ke night. The Tau Ke night is a night when all the classes put on a performance to show the parents.
Room 4’s performance was a welcome song called Haere Mai and a song with rakau sticks, called E Papa Waiari. Our voices were very quiet but the rakau sticks were very loud - it was the action song that was the quiet one.After the Year 1’s and 2’s performed, the Year 5s, 6s, 7s and 8s did our Kapa Haka performance. The first song we did, did not have any actions but it was very loud. The second song did have actions and it was very loud. It was called E Te Ariki.
Next, the girls sang a song, called E Rere Taku Poi. In their song, they used poi and the boys just stamped their feet and sung the song. After that, the boys did the haka. Some boys didn’t do it right but they fixed it up. Last of all, was a song that all the Kapa Haka group did together - it was called Ka Waiata.

Hi Flynn,
ReplyDeleteYou have written a recount on last night's performance. I like the way you have mentioned some of the songs that were sung.
You state that room 4's performance was quiet but the sticks were loud. How many songs did room 4 perform? How could you re-write this but still have a similar message but clearer?
You have used a variety of sentence starters this keeps the reader interested and you have used time words this helps to show time happening. What other time words do you know other than last and next?
How did you feel during the performance? Which performance did you like best and why?
