This is further footage of the Melville Intermediate Cultural Performing Arts Group (CPA) at Frankton Markets on June 27th. This is the Boys Haka. Most people are aware that there are different Haka for each region of New Zealand depending on the tribe or Iwi. As we are in Waikato the main Iwi is Tainui.

Melville Intermediate - Well Done Mr Lamsheds Class

Earlier this year as followers of this blog will know, we were watching closely the work of Mr Lamsheds Boys Class at Hackham East School in Adelaide, Australia. They had entered a Boys Haka in the Adelaide Arts Festival. We filmed two videos to help them out with their performance of the Haka and also gave them some tips. Just as they'd been waiting anxiously in Australia for news of whether they made the final performance (in front of 1,500 people no less!) so we were waiting at this end, well yesterday the letter arrived that they had been waiting for and they are successful in and performing on September 15th!

Everyone in Room 8 would like to give our warmest congratulations to Mr Lamshed and his Boys for their amazing efforts with this, and we will be wishing them all the best for September the 15th!

Melville Intermediate - Mr Lamsheds Haka

Mr Lamsheds Class in Adelaide, Australia is one of our favourite class blogs. The students at the moment are preparing for the Adelaide Arts Festival where they will be performing the Maori Haka 'Ka Mate'. We've been giving the Boys feedback as they prepare and helping as many different ways as they can. Cleveland and Kalem decided to film themselves discussing some tips for the video, which was filmed by Arahia this afternoon on Tuesday 12th May. If you haven't visited Mr Lamsheds site you must do so!
