Tikanga Maori
This week we were focusing on Tikanga Maori. Tikanga Maori mean Maori culture. So that means we were learning about Maori culture. To be honest it was really fun. We learnt the song that all of you maybe familiar with is the song Aotearoa by Stan Walker. It was my first time listening to that song but I got used to it really quick. It's stuck in my head!!. We looked at the video and the lyrics of the video. What made it tricky for me was all of those words that are seriously like tongue twisters. After practising it a several times we started making Poi's and Rakau sticks. I started of with making Rakau sticks and what I needed was 2 or 3 or more magazines and some tape
It is a great song isn't it Shreya? I agree with you, the lyrics are a bit tricky but once you listen to it a few times you start to pick it up. I think the performance you guys do is going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could add something about how your group is doing for their performance? You could also add the YouTube clip of Aotearoa and photos of you doing your thing, there should be some in the photos folder Google drive.
