Powhiri for Wairakei School Christchurch
In the morning we went to the school hall at 9:15 to welcome the Principal and staff members from Wairakei School in Christchurch with a powhiri.
We lined up and walked to the hall quietly we were the last class to the hall my friend Vedel said that is was embarrassing.
As we walked into the very quietly and Mr. Ramkalawan directed our class were to sit. While we sitting down Mr. Sean told us that there had been a bit of a delay but they had arrived.
As I was sitting down my legs were getting num. Then Mr.Sean asked the kapa haka group to stand up and then he asked the entire school to stand up.
While I was getting up I couldn’t feel my legs and I it was very hard to get up and I almost fell over. When we were standing up the Kapa Haka group sang ka pioioi e. When the song was finished we all sat down again. Then our principal Mr.Hendricks said a small speech to introduce himself and the school.
Afterwards the Kapa Haka group sang another song. When they had finished singing there song the Principal from Waiariki School had also said a little speech and a song with his staff.
After that the Powhiri was over and everyone left the hall.
