Ployfest

Kia Ora, talofa lava, malo e lelei, faakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, bula vinaka, namaste and greetings!! My name is DJ 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 in this event?

I think all of the people from other school and whanau participate in polyfest to show of their cultures. They show of their cultures so people can see how great they love their culture. So they give more harder dance moves. They show their family proud.

What things do you think the performers had to go through to get to having the items we will see? (Make a list)

• Practise
• getting told off
• making up the moves
• to learn new moves

How does this event promote our different cultures?

to promote others for joining in to other cultures is to help them out when their suck and to courage them for joining in. To promote others for learning their culture and their dance moves is to tell the that their doing well

Conclusion: Write a short paragraph about what you are looking forward to during our visit to the Polyfest.

I am really looking forward to visiting the ASB polyfest in manukau and watching all of the good performances and the people that is in the performances and seeing the people i know in it.
