Panmure Bridge had the honour to have a Professinal Kapa Haka group come in and give us a performence. This group was from Te Whanau Raukura, and they have mostly performed at Auckland Museum. The performence started of with a Conch. This was a traditional trumpet, to welcome guests in. As they arrived at the stage, they first sang a song. One of the girls started to do very fancy moves with her Poipoi. A Poi was used by males to increase their flexibility, build co-ordination and upper body strength for battle, but as the Maori culture grew, it then became a female traditon as a form of comfort or welcoming. The next Item that was introduced was the Taiaha. The Taiaha was used in war. The feathery part of the Taiaha was used as a distraction, so taht they could use the would to bruise the enemy. As a gift in return the boys from PBS Kapa Haka group, peformed a Haka in return. After this Peformance, Becca, from the Kapahaka group, came into our class-room and taught us a game called Pukana.
