Matariki - Maori New Year

Ethan's Kindy celebrated Matariki (Maori New Year) - all dressed in costumes they had each made. From what I have heard from his Mum and Dad, he knew the songs and words - in maori, and sang and danced with some Maori "gusto" in his actions.

He is obviously into it!! Then the Kapa Haka group from the neighbouring intermediate school came to perform a "scary" haka!!! - this was Ethan's favourite I believe. This step-grandmama will be happy if he can sing an old kiwi favourite of mine "Ten Guitars" - in tune - when I next see him. The "Haka" can be kept for others!
