Today our Whakangāhau Kapa Haka Rōpū had a very special outing!
We walked around the corner with Matua Phil and Whaea Kelly to visit the residents at MiLife New Plymouth Village – Bell Block.
When we arrived, we performed our kapa haka bracket for everyone. Afterwards, we sang a few extra songs, including You Are My Sunshine and Sweet Caroline, along with some other favourites. The best part was seeing the residents join in and sing along with us!
After our performance, we were treated to an ice block (yum!) and got to spend some time chatting with the residents. Rubeelee’s great-great-aunty was there, and so was Liliana’s Granny. It was so lovely getting to meet everyone, have a chat and share some smiles.
Once we had finished, we walked back to school feeling very happy, with our cups full from making other people smile. 
A big thank you to Whaea Kelly and Matua Phil for taking us and helping make this special visit happen. We had an awesome time!
