Our preparation... Even though everyone was very busy throughout the week - we all still managed to come together as a combined class and create an item for the talent night. Two short practices and we were rearing to go. Kia kaha! Talent Night Highlights Participation - awesome to see parents taking part and fully dressing up for the ocassion! Fun and exciting performances by all classes and family acts. Our favourites for the night were the video clip (open class), troopers, high school musical, Canaan and Xavier. A night fully enjoyed by the teachers and students of grade 7 - 100%

Hi there Grades 7 and 8! Congratulations on a good performance. I enjoyed your dance and song. It's great that you were able to pull together and treat us on the night - only two practices too!
ReplyDeleteI notice that Heke is part of your team. Maybe he could share more with you about the art of dancing and singing using Te Reo. He is a very talented performer - no exaggeration! Both his parents were part of the group that would host visitors to the museum, some of your Sunday School teachdrs as well as Heke could tell you more about this. His grandparents own a group called Pounamu who work closely with Pt England's Pounamu group.
I think it's great that we use Te Reo at church, it's an important part of being Kiwi and living here in New Zealand which we call home.
Tino pai tamariki!
