This morning Glen Innes School held a special powhiri for a group of teachers and a principal from wairakei school in Christchurch.It was nearly the best preformance I had ever done! I reckon this was my favourite powhiri. Ever!

When the powhiri actually started it took a little bit long to wait for them to come but it was alright.When Mr. Shaun clicked his fingers it meant that we were all ready to go. Memory said her Karana and then Misty said her beautiful kai karana and last up was Jazire and her
really good Karana. After that we sang a very powerful song which is called Hei runga hei raro to welcome them into our school as our school family for a while.

After that the principal of Wairakei school said a tiny speech to tell us more about himself and then we were very surprised because him and the group of staff actually sang a nice maori song! We were very proud of him because they pulled it off very well! We all gave them a round of a paws for being such good maori singers! When they finished singing
They gathered in a line and began to hug in a maori way and then went to the staffroom as the kapahaka group sang songs like ahaka ma. After that all the classes started to go and then the group was still singing until me and Jazire had to go to the staffroom to be an ambassador to show them how to get to all our learning areas such as our class site and
our drive. Overall I think that this powhiri was very fun and I am very excited to do it all again!

I like this piece of writing Alicia! I think that you should just make the tables, or whatever you pasted onto your work, a little bit smaller. Other than that, I love your story about meeting Principal Shane and other staff from wairakei school. And also the powhiri.
Thank you Jazire!
