Our letters from the Mataarae performers

Last term we wrote letters to our favourite performers in the Rugby World Cup ceremony. Some of us wrote to the Mataarae Kapa Haka group. Today we recieved letters, gifts and photos from the performers. We were so happy to read these letters and have displayed them in our class. Here are some photos from our wall display.

Thanks Mataarae members we think you rock!!!
