Learning Our Moteatea for Cultural Festival.

This term we have asked Whaea Rachel to come into Room 6 and teach us our Moteatea - Ka noho mai Kaharau. We are learning the first 2 verses of Ka noho mai Kaharau.

First we discussed that the moteatea is about Rahiri's son Kaharau, and that Kaharau built a manu-aute (kite) which he called Tuhoronuku. Kaharau built this manu-aute and when he flew it and where the manu-aute landed after the flight, that would be the place where Kaharau would settle and live.

The second verse describes how the manu-aute flew in the sky and how it flew over Oahukena Pa and then finally settling around Puketona just below Pakinga Pa.

Room 6 was divided into a boys group and a girls group. Please listen to both groups and help us to improve by leaving positive comment, that would help us to become confident preformers on stage.

Our Waka Values We Are Using:

Kaha, Tumaia, Ako, Mana
