Powhiri 18 September

Last Friday we had a Powhiri at school. The year 3 and 4's had stayed the night in the School Hall and they welcomed us onto the field with a Powhiri. Amanda called for us and Sebastian and Max and Mathias did our speeches and we all sang some Maori songs. After the year 3 and 4's had done their speeches and songs and a haka, we gave them a koha of food. We all then lined up to hongi. It took a long time! Then we all went down to Room 4 and had a shared lunch together. Here are some pictures from the Powhiri.
