On Friday 22nd June Hay Park School was lucky enough to go to Lynfield college marae. We had an amazing and fun time learning how to use these sticks that are called a rakau and the poi.
First of all the senior classes were buddied up with the junior classes
room 6’s class buddy was room 1.
room 6’s class buddy was room 1.
The first thing that our class and room 1 did was taught by a girl and
two boys they told us that in the old days the moari’s used to use the
rakau for fishing.we played a game with the rakau when he says
runga we put the stick up above our head when he says ki raro which
means down we need to put the rakau down when he says iroto that
means to put the rakau in near yourself and when he says waho
that means to put it out.

Then all the girls moved over to using the poi we learned four moves
of using the poi.Here is one i will tell you about that is a bit tricky
for me it was swinging the poi and then catch it.It was really fun
going to Lynfield college and do these fun activities
