On Wednesday a Tongan Church group visited Woodend School. We had a special assembly where our kapahaka group performed for the very first time. We sang our national anthem and talked to them about the New Zealand flag. The group were amazing singers and proudly sung their anthem and talked about Tonga. They also performed a haka as well as a traditional song and dance. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about another culture and to hear how things differ in Tonga.
Because we couldn't have any Rugby World Cup games in ChCh we had our very own game involving buckets and a rugby ball. Some students were chosen to play the game and represent Woodend - New Zealand. Unfortunately we didn't win that game but fingers crossed the All Blacks can!!
Thanks Rod for organising this very memorable day.
