Kapa Haka!

 Hi. If you don't know me yet, I'm Grace. An almost 10 year old student from New Windsor School.

And if you didn't know, (which if you are new then you definitely wouldn't know,) I do Kapa Haka.

If you don't know what Kapa Haka is, it is where you preform Maori dances and songs in front of an audience. 

It takes lots of time to practise the dances and memorise the songs. 

And some of my favourite songs that we do in Kapa Haka, is

1. Nga iwi e

It is a super fun song, and it makes me nice and energetic with how happy the song is.

2. Toku reo.

It's really fun to sing and I'm obsessed with how it sounds when all of us are singing it!

3. Uia.

This is our poi. If you don't know what poi is, it's these things and you make movement with them, I'm not really sure how to explain it. And I love how at the start of the song we do a 3 part harmony.

Working On Art!

 Hi, how's lockdown? For me, it's sad because we can't see friends in person. Only on call. But there is some things that are good, like how we can still do art! Rather it's drawing digitally or just on a piece of paper. Or maybe it isn't drawing, it could be crafts. 

But I LOVE drawing, and I am doing an art task, for 30 days. 

I am working on day 2. The task is draw a butterfly with exotic colours. 

This is my butterfly so far. I still need to colour it and do some more outlining. 

And also, since I love doing art I have been working on another drawing of a girl I found on google. 

If you are struggling to find pictures of people, search up on google photography of ___ (what you want to draw)And you will find some really cool photos. 

Here is the drawing so far.

Thank you for reading this blog post, and I hope the rest of your day or night will be good!
