cultural fest

On Monday my school’s kapa haka group went to the Kaikohe Cultural festivaL.
My learning was to stay strong, pukana, do awesome actions and make my mum proud.
I think I passed those because I stood my ground strong and proud, I did pukana the whole way, I did the actions properly and I know I made my mum proud because she came to me crying in delight.
I really enjoyed the part where I found my mum crying in delight, not just because I felt good in myself, also because I made her see that my love for her is unbreakable.
What I didn’t really enjoy though was knowing that we couldn’t watch the other schools, I know we watched them on Tuesday but I had high expectations that they would’ve done better. Because on Tuesday it was the practise rounds, so they wouldn’t of went that hard, but I know they would’ve done their all on the actual festival.
Here’s the performance if you want to watch it

I also made some mistakes along the way like at the end when we took a knee I nearly fell.
