Day 4: Hitting a High Note…
Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart
Back in the past, Māori would use song as a way of sharing information or communicating emotions. A waiata is a name that has given to a traditional Māori song. One of my all-time favourite Waiata is a Maori Traditional song. I like this Waiata Because it is a nice song and it has lovely movement .
Activity 2: Playing Games 
About Hundreds of years ago, young Māori children were taught to play a number of games, it was Poi Rakau, Ki O Rahi, Koruru Taonga and Poi Toa.
Did you know that a lot of people love the poi Toa because it is easy to make and people has loved using it in dances and song.But my favourite Game out of Poi Rakua,Ki O Rahi,K Oruru and Poi Toa is Poi Toa Because I have played with it and I have learned a lot from it.
onus Activity: Musical Festivals – Matatini

Hi Tehillah!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellee, I am another part of the Summer Learning Journey Crew that is commenting on your blogs this summer.
Looks like you have been super busy completing your activities this summer, awesome work!
Activity One: Waiata
I can see you have told us the reason why you like your waiata but I can't find on your post which song you are writing about? I thought that maybe you had missed it out by mistake! I would love to hear what your favourite waiata is? (Then we can give you full points for this activity, Yay!)
Activity Two: Playing Games
I can see that you have chosen Poi Toa as your game, that's great :) - I am also happy that you have played before! I would love for you to tell us more about Poi Toa: What is the purpose of the game? Are there rules? Are there instructions you need to follow or equipment?
Hopefully these questions might help you complete the task, if you need an extra hand let us know!
Bonus: Music Festivals
Thank you for sharing how you would rank the performances, great job! It would be awesome to hear why you ranked them this way?
I really liked the Tamatea Arikinui performance because of the amazing poi! I thought they were really skilled and the singing was powerful.
I also really liked the Te Iti Kahurangi performance because of the song they sang. I had not heard it in Te Reo before and I thought it sounded beautiful! If you want to hear the original song check out this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7ZwViizRwU
