This week we will be performing our Kapa Haka bracket at the Turanganui Schools Maori Cultural Festival. The Senior Team have been practicing hard - learning new songs and actions and polishing their performance so that they are stage ready.
What piece of advice would you give somebody who is about to perform on stage?
Each fortnight we have buddy time with Kereru (a junior class). We love our tuakana-teina time with them. On Friday we had tug-o-war challenges. We battled it out in house colours to find the champion - well done Kowhai! It was awesome to see the Kotare kids helping out the Kereru kids!
What would be your top tip or piece of advice you would give someone to be good at tug-o-war?
This term we had our Senior Team Speech Finals. We were so proud of all the kids from Kotare who were very brave and stepped up to give it a go.
Well done to all those who made it into the finals! A special congratulations to Solomone who came 1st for the Year 4's and Lara who came 3rd for the Year 6's.
This week we had our school Athletics Day. Students competed in long jump, high jump, cricket ball throw, sprints and relays. Everybody did an amazing job and we are very proud of their efforts!
What is your favourite athletics event? Why is this your favourite?
