Kia Ora, talofa lava, malo e lelei, fakaalofa lahi atu, kia orana, bula vinaka, namaste and greetings!! It’s Pasifika week in Aotearoa, this means it’s a week long celebration of all things Pacific. This includes the birthday dance we had with Mrs Tele’a! Part of the celebration is the Polyfest! This Thursday we are planning to travel to Manukau to take part in some workshops and then visit stages. The two stages we will be visiting will be the Maori and Diversity stages. Did you know that this event - the Polyfest celebrates 40 years since it’s beginning? Awesome isn't it!
People and their whanau participate in this event to see how their cultures performs and the moves they use. They also go to watch their friends and families perform in public.
The things that the performers had to go through to get their items seen was….. They practise, practise and practise on their dance to get it right for the actual day. They also practise their singing because some groups sing while they sing.
This event helps and encourages people to be confident, happy and proud of their culture. It also encourages people to
I'm looking forward to meeting new people because it is good to communicate with people and be a good person.
I am also looking forward to tasting the food, watching the stages and looking at the stations we will be looking at.
