Maori hand games

Maori hand games

Last week we were lucky enough to go to Maori hand games
some people came and taught us some movements and the Maori way of saying it.

At Maori hand games we competed against each other

When I versed Kahu I was scared that I would lose but I won. I got 2 and he got 1

We played with knucklebones which in maori is koruru we learned that when they were there because they told us when  we were learning

We also learned names of the songs these are some names:

Ha tama tu tama

E hippy toi toi

But for now this is the end!

What I Know that prehistoric animals lived millions of years ago and some of them like the T-rex ate other animals. They each had a different food like the brontosaurus ate plants and the T-rex ate meat

The T-rex was the top dinosaur because it beat every other animal

In the sea there are prehistoric animals like the mosasaurus and they had more food like fish because fish came in packs and they can eat pack of fish in 1 gulp.

HBHS perform

The day HBHS did the Haka

Today we watched HBHS do the haka. The people that were there were quite funny at some points in the middle they did a dab and everyone was talking about it I felt really excited at the start because my brother goes to HBHS. My brother wasn’t in the haka I felt a bit sad that he wasn’t there but I knew that he wouldn't be there anyway. They did a musical song but they said words that we didn't understand. ¾ of the way we had to copy what the people from HBHS did and we didn't even know that we had to copy until they said “your turn” then we knew we had to to say and do what they just did I think that they were just testing us to see if we were listening. At the end they were really funny because they were all jumping around and making silly faces. I thought that it was an amazing show!
