The haka

Recently we learned the Haka in class. The Haka is a traditional dance from the Maóri of New Zealand, just like the way we have Irish dancing in Ireland. The dance is performed as a prayer to the Maóri gods. New Zealand danced the Haka just before they played Ireland in a rugby match lately. The 'all blacks' won so something must have done the trick!
Here is a link to the video

Here is a video of our class performing the Haka at Edenderry rugby club!
Thanks to Ms. Karen Duffy, Patsy Gorman and everyone else who came on the day!
