The Masked Parade

Last Friday night we went to the masked parade and it was fantastic.

We saw lots of fantastic masks and there were lots of people there.

We won the best school out of lots of school and so we got a prize!!!!

When we were walking around town there were lots of people watching us.

Everyone was clapping, laughing and cheering.

We were singing and doing the actions to the song Nga Iwi E and we were walking in a circle.

Everyone looked awesome, fantastic and cool.

Our class and R1 and R16 was the forest and our Maori name was Tane Mahuta.

Making Masks

We made the masks for the masked parade by cutting cereal boxes and painted them. Mr Witty's one looked hilarious on him. His eye holes were to thin for him. Kate's one looked hilarious too. She had the same as the classes but with circles. We were the god of the forest and the Maori name is Tane Mahuta. Room 1's mask was the same god as Room 6's but it had green ferns on the top. Room 6 had flax instead.
