School Powhiri and Mass

This week the school went to mass. Matt did the call and we did a haka with actions up at the front. We were silent at the start, loud in the middle and silent at the end. When we were doing the haka the new people came up the aisle slowly. We also sang songs.The powhiri was to welcome the younger children to our school. The younger children got a buddy and a certificate. Some of the children had already started school and some were at kindy. The student council shared breathe with most of the new people. There were readings. Tim got to read one of the prayers. Some people read from the Bible.
