We were treated to a performance by Kahurangi a dance group from the North Island.
They told us Maori legends through dance. We loved their traditional Maori costumes. We saw lots of koru on their costumes. Now we are spotting koru everywhere!! Our favourite part was when they showed us how they use weapons and even got some Gore Main boys up to demonstrate too!
Today at Mataura School we were part of the Gore and Districts Cultural Festival. We sung 3 songs with other schools and performed our own song Whakarongo on stage.
Here we are performing....
We got to watch Jenny Mitchell performing and all of the other schools performing their items too! We had so much fun and survived the super hot day by wearing our sun hats, wearing sun block and drinking lots of water!
