Do you think Kapa haka is good for us?

 

I think that Kapa Haka is good for us because I think that when you do Kapa Haka it gives you an opportunity to experience success, gain confidence through performance, step up as a leader and role model.

The Haka was traditionally performed by men before going to war.

The aggressive facial expressions were meant to scare the opponents.

Today, Haka are still used during Maori ceremonies and celebrations to honour quests and show the importance of the incident. Haka are also used to challenge opponents on the sports field. The New Zealand rugby team, the All Blacks, perform the Haka before each match in a stunning show of strength and physical skill.

The very first New Zealand representative rugby team, known as The Natives, performed a Haka during a tour of Britain and Australia in 1888-89. Originally, the Haka was only performed by the All Blacks when they played overseas. 

Kapa Haka is performed by cultural groups on marae, at schools, and during special events and festivals.

The Maori word ‘kapa’ means to stand in a row or rank, and haka is a dance. The term ‘Kapa Haka’ means a group or groups standing in rows to perform traditional Maori dances.

Why is food so expensive?

Dear Supermarkets 

Food prices are getting expensive especially the fruit and vegetables,for example, if you wanted kiwifruit it would cost $6:00. Fresh fruit and veggies are more expensive to farm than crops that will be processed. Fruit and vegetables tend to be more expensive than unhealthy foods e.g pineapple lumps cost $2:00 and then pineapple costs $4:99. 

Foods is getting more expensive at grocery stores and restaurants.

Some companies are raising prices, while others are selling smaller portions for the same price.

At the supermarket if you wanted to buy crackers it would be only $3:00 but If you wanted to buy cucumber it would be $5:00.

So supermarkets could you please lower the prices of the food.
