A wonderful Fiafia Day

On Thursday the 3rd of December, we all had a lovely day. When I got to school I saw lots of kids playing. First the bell went and we all went inside our classes then Miss Hughes said it is a special day today and we were so happy. Next we all went under the Canopy with our teacher and the kids.


Finally all the classes were coming and the Maori kids went up the stage and perform. After they performed they were so cool. Soon after that the Maori went and sat down. Later the Tongan came up on the stage and danced to their song. The best one I like when they all danced and it was so beauitful and wonderful.

Then the Cook Islanders came on and their uniform was wonderful and I really loved the Tongan group and the Cook Island. Also the Maori were so cool. After that we went up the stage and performed.


After we performed Mrs Dunlop came up the stage with Mrs Fuli. Mrs Fuli was so happy to come up on the stage. Also kids took some flowers and lollies. After that Tua said, "May the teachers come up and dance." When all the teacher's came and danced, me and Miss Hughes danced along to the song and I was so happy when me and Miss Hughes danced.

At last Mrs Dunlop said, "Thank you for coming. I hope everyone has had a good time!" When Mrs Dunlop said something everyone was gone.

I love to be a Samoan. I wish that we can do Fiafia Day again.

Fiafia Day

Do you want to know about my Fiafia day?

Well last Thursday we had a Fiafia Day. Early in the morning, some parents came in and decorated the stage.

Then at 9.15 am all the Senior classes came out where the net ball court is. Then we all went into our places ready for the show.

After that the Maori group went up on the stage but first Abigail started speaking then Michael said that we were going to do our National Anthem.

Next Shiroh said that the Maori group were going to do their performance. Then the Maori group started to do their performance and it was awesome!

Then the Tongan group did their lovely dance and I thought their costumes were amazing.

After that the amazing Cook Island group did theirs .Then the last group of the day was the Samoan group and they were lovely.

My favourite performance group was the Cook Island because the boys legs were moving hard and the girls hips were shaking hard and I couldn't take my eyes off of them. But all of them were good.

At 1.00 we had to get to get out of our costumes then we all went back to our classrooms but it was a lovely day and I wish it was like that every single day!

Fiafia Day

Would you like to know what my favourite part of Fiafia day was?

My favourite part was the Tongan's, the Maori and the Cook Island group.

First the Maori perfomed. I thought the Maori people were cool and I really liked Rewi saying the haka because he looked like Maui.

Then the Tongan group sang and danced. I thought the Tongan group nearly broke the stage!

Third the Cook Island group went on the stage. The best one was the Cook Island group. I was proud to be a Cook Islander.

Next year I would like to do Fiafia day again because it was so fantastic!

Fiafia Day at Yendarra School!

Tomorrow, the Senior Hapu are planning to lead our school Fiafia Day. This will be a vibrant celebration of the many different cultures we are lucky to have represented within our school community.

Students from across the Senior Hapu have been working hard over recent weeks in preparation for this special day and we are looking forward to welcoming family and friends of our school to see our cultural performance.

At the moment, it is pouring down with rain here in Auckland but fingers crossed we will wake up to beautiful bright sunshine tomorrow!

Keep checking our blog as we share the good news about our Fiafia Day later in the week.

Good Luck Seniors!
