Mr Lindsay's Powhiri

Kia ora, welcome back to my blog and welcome to 2020. If you are new to my blog kia ora and my name is Breeze. I am a year seven student now at Paihia Primary School. Make sure to comment what I can make better and what is good about my blog post. Last week on Monday 8 Te Ngahere students were chosen to go to Kawakawa School and awhi Mr Lindsay in his powhiri. When we got to Kawakawa School we stepped out of the van and we all gathered up. When we gathered up we were thinking of what waiata we were going to sing. We went and sat down while we waited until we were allowed to go in the whare. Mr Lindsay told us to stand in the shade because it was hot but when we were standing in the shade two students and one adult from Kawakawa Primary School did a wonderful karanga to welcome us and some others into the whare. When we were walking to the whare we were told to put our shoes on the left side of the whare. We had to share some seats with others but we didn’t mind. We had to listen to some people saying their mihi including Mr Lindsay and after his mihi we sang the song that we picked. After that we got invited to have a little snack with them. There was red velvet cake, chocolate cake, milk, scroggin and two other flavoured cakes. I was so nervous when we had to sing the waiata but I tried to only look at my cousins that go to Kawakawa school. After the little morning tea we went back to Paihia School. What I found difficult was leaving Mr Lindsay. What I enjoyed was spending time with him because I don’t know when the next time I will see him is. I still really miss Mr Lindsay but know he is gone to Kawakawa School. I hope you guys had a awesome start to 2020. Ka kite.
