Kapa Haka

Kia ora koutou,

Te Kapa Haka o Motu Karaka (the original name for Green Bay) is an integral part of the school.

We are thankful to have the expertise of Mātua Jarrod who teaches Te Reo Māori on a Wednesday and trains our Kapa haka group in the afternoon.

The Kapa Haka group is open to our Year 4-8 students. The highlight of each year is performing at the Eden Albert Festival. We ask that the kids put in the extra time at home to learn the words and actions for each of the songs.

Aue Te Aroha - Green Bay Aue te aroha… aue te aroha
Ka rere atu nei taku reo pōwhiri
Nau mai, haere mai
Ko te Motukaraka e., e mihi atu nei, kia koutou e
(piki mai)
Piki mai, kake mai, homai to waiora
Kia mātou e
(tihei)
Tihei mauri, mauri ora, e nga iwi e
Aue te aroha (tama mā)
aue te aroha (hine mā) (2x)
Aue te aroha… aue te aroha
Aue te aroha… aue te aroha

Whāia rā
Kei hinga taku mana e
Kumea ki runga
Ko taku matauranga e
Kei hea rā…..
Me aha taku kōrero
Ki te rangatahi e
Me tuku rā te hanga nei
E mihi nei rā

Whāia rā…te matauranga hei oranga
Mo tō tinana ka puta koe
Ki te ao marama 2 x

Te Whānau Motukaraka e
Ki runga o taumata
Waitangi te tiriti e
Ko te moana
Kaua e wareware e
Ki o turanga e
Kia mau ki tō māoritanga
Kei hinga e….

Whāia rā…..

Whakarongo - Pa Tate

Whakarongo, whakarongo rā
Toro mai te aroha ki te hau pō
Kārere rā te karanga te pōhiri
Hōmai te aroha ki ahau nei
Mate i te mate i te wā
Mate i ngā marae maha
Mate i te pō
Tīkina tangihia

(Ko Papatūānuku)
Ko Papatūānuku e torotoro nei
I te ao i te pō
Huihui ka moe
Tēnā rā koutou katoa….
