Te Kura o Glenholme School Haka

Kia ora ano koutou



We have another recording and here you will see us learning our school haka.



Our haka is based on our school's 'go for it' attitude.



Like the waiata, Karangatia Ra, we are still learning to perfect our performance so it's a work in progress at the moment.



We are learning to put lots of emphasis into our actions by using our bodies effectively, especially our eyes, to convey a 'challenge'. We are also learning to keep a steady pace and not rush through it. It's also important that we pronounce the words accurately. Lastly, we are learning to simply 'give it heaps'!!

Mrs Vercoe says the boys should be all puffed out, breathing heavily, and red faced at the end of it.



We hope you like our haka. Please share your comments and feedback :)

Waiata - Karangatia Ra

Tena koutou katoa




This is our class learning and practising the waiata 'Karangatia Ra'.
We haven't nailed it just yet. We have some sharpening to do and are still working towards a perfect performance.




Our specific focii during practises have been on correct pronunciation of the words, projecting our voices, and keeping the actions crisp and in time.



Hopefully you will enjoy viewing our recording of this waiata.



We welcome your comments and feedback. Thank you :)
