Yesterday I was busy working in my office when I heard the waiata 'E Papa Waiari' coming from the school hall. Being blown away by such wonderful singing I just had to go and investigate which children were working with Mr Chadwick as part of the schools kapa haka programme. I was greeted by both room 8 and 10 (Year 3) who were learning 'Tii Rakau' (actions with sticks). There was a high level of engagement as it was clearly evident the children were enjoying this fantastic learning opportunity.
Every Wednesday morning throughout terms 2 and 3 Raihania is leading a school wide kapa haka programme for our Year 3 to Year 8 students. He is also taking waiata at junior assemblies held every second Friday. The programme aims to provide rich learning experiences and performance opportunities for three kapa haka groups. We are very fortunate to have such a talented and passionate teacher with skills and knowledge in this area of learning.
