Red Square Day

On Wednesday, about 100 children from all across the school, travelled to Nelson, to take part in a Westpac Red Square Performance. Our show started with the room 1, 2 and 3 children performing three songs. After rapturous applause, they were replaced by the Twenty 11 group, and then the Senior ukulele group (with back-up singers) and finally the Kapahaka group. The performance finished with a very powerful and moving haka, which had the crowd cheering and clapping. All the children did incredibly well on stage, and were a real credit to the school.
For the room 1, 2 and 3 children, the day was not over, as we then headed to Natureland for the afternoon. The children had a great time checking out all the animals, and it was a brilliant way to cap off a fantastic day.
Thank you to our helpful parents who took the time to come and share our day, and also to Mr Fitz and Mrs Wilkinson for all the effort they have put in, and to Kevin, Loufi and Margaret for all they have done with the Kapahaka group.
