Kia Ora, talofa lava, malo e lelei, faakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, bula vinaka, namaste and greetings!! It’s Pasifika week in Aotearoa, this means it’s a week long celebration of all things Pacific. This includes the birthday dance we had with Mrs Tele’a! Part of the celebration is the Polyfest! This Thursday we are planning to travel to Manukau to take part in some workshops and then visit stages. The two stages we will be visiting will be the Maori and Diversity stages. Did you know that this event - the Polyfest celebrates 40 years since it’s beginning? Awesome isn’t it!
Why do you think young people and their whanau participate? I think because they want to know how hard they've been practising and how good it is to do performing. They would also participate so that they can meet some of the performers and have some discussion with them.

What things do you think the performers had to go through to get to having the items we will see?
- See how good their confident in dancing
- Practise practise to make perfect
- Make sure you know how to do the actions
How do you think this promotes our different cultures? I think it promotes different cultures by confidence and being available to perform. Also getting along with other people and discussing how good they are and confident with their dancing.
What I’m looking forward to on Thursday is the performing of the Samoan group because I really like Samoa dancing. I’m also looking to see people and talk with them or see some of my family members. But I just can’t wait to go to also watch the Cook Island Hula girls.
