Today Panmure Bridge School held a special celebration to celebrate the Maori beliefs linking to Matariki. The Matariki ceremony was enjoyed by pupils at our school and the children of the kindergarten kids located next to us. We celebrated Matariki by sharing cultural group items, performances such as the drumming group, and students were all offered sausage sizzles. To start, every one sang our song He Hone Re. This was a really enjoyable song to sing with friends and family. After that the Kapa Haka group performed their repertoire and also managed to do the Haka. It was really great to see how everyone was really confident and representing their culture. Everyone was shocked of how Joseph (Haka Leader) started the Haka off. Soon after the Kapa Haka's performance we had the drumming group who were outstanding. It was really good to see how each of them were on the same beat. I think the drumming group did a great job because they'd only practice today for 1 hour. Soon we had the Ukulele group performing the song Lean on me by Bill Withers. This was a really amazing song which everyone was singing to. Our last group performance was the Pasifika group. In my perspectives I think this was my best performance I've seen today because of the dances and also the drumming. At the end we enjoyed sausages. I would like to say a bit thank you to Mrs Whaia Odie who planned to celebrate this ceremony and also to other teachers and students who help set up the celebration.
