The senior classes went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds to participate in Matariki activities. We were welcomed on with a powhiri. We then split into 2 groups. We played a variety of maori games including using the rakau. We then had lunch and were lucky enough to hear the kapa haka group perform in the marae. After that our own kapa haka group performed for them. It was really special being able to perform in the marae at Waitangi. The second activity we did was kite making. It was lots of fun. We had a great day.

Puff n Pull - Pulling the train
In Kawakawa we have a train that goes through the middle of our main road. Each year we have Puff n Pull where teams have to pull the train down the road. Schools are allowed 40 children and adults have 20. The record how long it takes you to pull the train and the team with the quickest time wins.
This year we got asked to do a video for on What Now about Puff n Pull it was on last Sunday. Here is Kawakawa Primary Pulling the Train.
