Each week since the beginning of this term, while half of The Den were out for kapa haka, the remaining students had been practicing rakau (a Māori stick game played by six or more people with wooden rods which are thrown by the players to each other in time to a song).
They have been learning a routine along to the Māori song E Papa Waiari. After lots of practise and persistence, the students were very successful in completing the routine while singing the song at the same time.
Have you played rakau before while singing a song? It’s not as easy as videos make it look!
