LH3's Maori Performance!

WHAT:

Today, we practiced for our Maori performance. I went into Aleena's group and we are doing our preformance with the sticks. We got into groups so we could help each other and at the same time, practice our actions so we could be able to preform to our learning habitat and the whole achool if possible. 

SO WHAT: 

We are doing this because we want to learn more about Maori culture and we decided it would be a good idea to make a preformance to show case how Maori people dance, use the sticks and the poi's. 

I learned how to use the sticks and the poi's and why Maori wariors use them. They use the poi's so their waists could get stronger and they could then be able to use weapons. I learned a song that was sang by Stan Walker that we released on Maori culture day. 

WHAT NOW:

I want to learn a full verison of the song with the actions. I would like to show my learning and the preformance to our school so they could also get a idea on what Maori people do and what others do to represent Maori culture. 

I wonder, how did the Maori people preform their preformances back then?
