Two songs from 2016

These YouTube clips are two songs Te Ope Kura performed last year.

YouTube Waiata Poi - Tīrama Mai

This is our poi song. 
There are more verses than we are singing but you can still listen to get the tune and pronunciation.

YouTube Clip - Hareruia

We sing this waiata tira a little differently but this clip will help you with the tune and pronunciation.

This clip is of an Intermediate school singing.

Ka hahana te Manawa

Ki te ihi karanga ranga

Kei toku Atua

Hareruia, hareruia,

Ki te mauri o Te Atua

Ki te ihi karanga ranga
Kei toku Atua

Hareruia, hareruia,

How to make poi

Here is a YouTube clip showing how to make a poi.

Who are we?

Te Ope Kura is the name given to our school Kapa Haka rōpū (group). We meet once a week to work with our tutors Whaea Amelia and Mātua Shane. They teach us waiata (song), waiata ringa (action song) and haka. The highlight of being in Te Ope Kura is when we get to perform. 

This blog page is for our members to learn their words and use links to help them improve. 
For some of our pieces we have recorded Mātua Shane. Please send a pen drive to school to get a copy.

This will also be a place to share photos of our rōpū.
