Kia Ora, Kia Orana, Bula, Talofa, Aloha, Malo e lelei!
This term the Wild Minds went on a fabulous trip to the Corban Estate Arts Centre in Henderson. We gained a deeper understanding of performance which will help us with our own variety show. We discovered how to make leis, create a beat on the Pacific wooden drums and dance the hula and sa-sa. The Aunties and Mamas of the Pacific Nations taught us how to greet each other respectfully in their own languages. We made a flower lei and learned of its significance when greeting others. In the meeting room we learned how to combine Pacifica drums together to create a percussive, drum beat. The parents and teachers assisted us to keep the beat on the wooden, slit drums. Lastly the girls learnt a graceful, hula dance while the boys performed a loud, vibrant sa-sa. This was a great experience which will really help us with our performance.
