Ara Ngapuhi E

Last Tuesday the kapa haka roopu learnt how to do the haka ‘Ara Ngapuhi E’ but slower and changing the actions. We had to learn this again because all this time we have been saying the wrong kupu and doing the wrong actions. After we did that the whole senior syndicate of Paihia School came into the whare and we split off into four groups and we taught the girls to emphasize the words and the boys to do the proper actions. I found it quite difficult to teach my group because some people didn't know how to pronounce the kupu properly, but my favourite part was when we all got together and did the haka all at the same time because I got to see all the other kids pukana and they looked really scary.
