Southern Cultural Festival in Kawakawa

Since last week in Te Ngahere the Kapa Haka roopu have been training for the Southern Cultural Festival in Kawakawa. We have been practising every morning tea and lunch times for the festival. Before, we went to the Te Tai Tokerau Festival in Whangarei. We went to the festival to learn new things that we saw when the groups performed. We are trying to use that and bring it to our kapa haka roopu. We only have 3 more days to practise until we go perform at the festival. I enjoy doing this because it is a good learning opportunity for us to learn more and perform what we have learnt towards others. In Kapa Haka I’m focusing on emphasizing my actions and pronouncing the kupu correctly. Later.
