Taiaha @ TIS

Kia ora Whanau... Some of you may be aware that a few weeks ago we started our first Taiaha lessons here at Tawa Intermediate.  We feel very blessed to have Matua Nori Ngaheu, Matua Tahi and Matua Paora to teach our community Taiaha from Te Whare Tu Taua O Aotearoa - Hawaiki Tu Ki Parirua.  The movie has been made to support the students in their learning so they can practise.

Making Poi

At the end of last term a group our Kapa Haka girls had a go at making their own long poi.  Here's a slideshow of the Poi making session.

Tika Tonu Haka

For you Tamaiti (boys)... here is the Tika Tonu Haka for you to learn. The kupu (words) and translation are on their own page - above.

Taku Reo Rangatira

Kia ora whanau.  This is the first Waiata-a-ringa our group are learning called 'Taku Reo Rangatira'.  For all you TIS Kapa Hakaians I hope you use this video to help you learn both the kupu (words) and actions for your first assessment in Week 10. 


Ka pai Kotiro ;)
