Kapa Haka leadership #6

On Friday Kapa Haka was cancelled because of the year 4 sleepover, I am going to say what I have learned and enjoyed during Kapa Haka this year. I learned that sometimes if you laugh or smile during the Haka it's disrespectful for the group. I have enjoyed going to the cultural festival because we performed our songs and represented the school. I showed active thinking by listening to the speaker and/or performers. I showed leadership by showing the kids where to stand. I was being a role model by not messing around and doing the practices for the performance.

On Friday at 10:30 the Kapa Haka group had a practice like every other week. We practiced a new song we are working on for the gala and more, normally we practice 3 songs because we were practicing for the cultural festival but now it's over so we are doing those 3 songs and 2 more, one of them we already know and the other we did a few years ago so we have to learn it again. I showed leadership by helping the other kids to learn the actions because I remember them from when I was little. I showed respect by listening to Matua while he was talking. I was being a role model because I wasn't making fun of the actions and the Maori culture.

Today I did Kapa Haka. I found it way more fun today because we were learning two new songs. One of them was Ka waiata, witch we sing every time we go to Te reo on a Friday so most of the Kapa Haka group know it. The second song is tenei matou witch is the song we sung a few years ago in the Kapa Haka so I know it and most of the actions. I showed leadership by showing some of the kids what the actions were. I showed respect by listening to Matua and respecting what he says.

Kapa Haka Leadership Excellence 17

On Friday we did Kapa Haka, all of us were pretty nervous because the cultural festival was right around the corner. But the good thing was that a few classes came in and watched us. Firstly some of the Kauri students came in and watched us and the feed back they had was to be louder, so we took that in. Secondly some of the junior students came in and we took the kauri students advice in and did our whole performance louder but the thing is the junior students all covered their ears and thought it was too loud! I showed leadership because I was quite in our transitions and in the gaps we had to wait in. I showed active thinking by handing out the poi because Mr Brown was busy.

On Friday we did kapa haka and we have started to do way longer practices because the cultural festival is coming up. We went through our performance a few times and the last time some of the staff members came to watch. We also got our uniforms and tried them on and while some people were doing that we sang some cool songs. I showed leadership by not being annoying while everyone was getting their uniforms. I showed excellence by waiting quietly until I got my uniform.

Today I had to leave early from kapa haka again because I have to walk down to Te Hapua after kapa haka every week but I think this was the last time doing that. On Friday we practiced our transitions and the poi because lots of people on my side or my line doesn't know how to do the whole poi. I showed active thinking because I handed out the poi without being asked. I showed leadership by getting involved in kapa haka.
