This is my Fiafia Reflection

Have you ever been to a Fiafia concert before? Point England school is having one on Thursday 18 April, it starts at 7pm. There will be food stalls as well, these will be open from 4:30pm. Every student at Pt England had to decide which group they wanted to be in. We were only allowed to pick three from a list. My first choice was Niuean group, my second choice was Senior Kapa Haka and  my third choice was Senior hip hop. I was happy when I found out that I was in the Niuean Group. There are more than 20 people in the Niuean group and we practice in room 13.

We have been practicing for the last 6 weeks. It has been hard work trying to get the actions right and learn the words to the songs. Our tutors are Miss Lavakula and Mrs Langitupu.  Our group has students from Year 1 up to Year 8.  Our group leaders are Kingston, Shoal and Darius.  Most of the seniors are disrespectful to our tutors because they talk when the teachers are giving us instructions. Sometimes it’s hard to hear what they are saying too because the seniors are talking. We have learnt  lots of different dances and actions. My favourite part of my group item is when we sing the song pa pa teliga and do the actions that go with this song.  

       

The costumes we are wearing are blue, black and white lavalavas, black singlets for the girls. Over the top of the lavalavas the girls will be wearing white sisi’s, the boys will be wearing the sisi’s  around their necks.The boys are going to have black war paint on their bodies and faces. The girls hair is going to be bushy making us look fierce.  I am really excited about performing in front of the whole school, my family and friends. I enjoy doing the pa pa teliga and the hopo.  I can’t wait to get up on stage with my group and perform.
