We have been developing a school powhiri and today Team Toru welcomed Team Rua into the Church Hall. It started with a karanga which Jessica and Kyra participated in. We then moved onto the speeches. Jack spoke for us and recited his mihi. He did an awesome job. We all joined in the singing and some of us got to join in the hongi. It was a really awesome experience!
Part of the powhiri experience is to mix and mingle and this usually involves sharing food. Team Toru had prepared some really yummy food for us which we really enjoyed!
We look forward to continuing to learn the songs and to being able to welcome other people into our school.
