Kapahaka festival


The senior children from North East Valley Normal took part in the Maori and Pacific Island festival. They were very happy and nervous. They heard clapping and cheering for the group before us. "Right, everyone is quiet"' said the teachers. It was dead silent. It was our turn. Butterflies were in tummies and people were getting stage fright. The 1st line went on then it was the next few lines. Mrs K-E was tuning her guitar as the children were looking out to the audience people watching. Here goes the first song, then the next and then our final item. "Well done everyone. You all sang,danced and looked amazing", said the teachers. We still had to be quiet because the other schools were performing. They were as good as us but it was about having fun and enjoying yourself. We had to hop back on the bus and back to school we went. When we got back we had to change out of our costumes. It was a great time and we can't wait until next year.
