We watched a performance that was did by a Kapa Haka group.
The first thing that happened was them doing an entrance ceremony. They used a conch to let the people notice them coming in. The Kapa Haka group introduced three weapons then they used in a dance.
After that Kapa Haka group finished doing the haka the our school Kapa Haka group did the haka. After all that we played a game called Matau-Maui. There is more information about Matau-Maui.
I enjoyed the performance and my favourite part was the part when they introduced the poi.

All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminium sheets, and concrete walls.
The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong.
The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof. This material has been chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter.
The aluminium was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in. This material was chosen because aluminium is strong.
The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava.
This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.
Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.
