Room 2 had a fun-filled afternoon with Renee on Monday 10th March. She taught us about a traditional Maori game called ki-o-rahi. The story of Rahi's journey to find his wife, Ti Ara who was kidnapped and held captive in a volcano. Along the way Rahi faced hardship and terrible danger including the taniwha who dwellt in the river. Rahi was helped by the giant hokioi (eagle) and eventually he was reunited with his wife. The game of ki-o-rahi was invented as an agreement for peace between Rahi's tribe and the patupaiarehe who took Ti Ara.
Ki-o-rahi is a team game that we all enjoyed. We loved being the taniwha, chasing after the kioma and ripping their tags off them and vice versa. We are looking forward to learning more about the skills and tricks of the game over the next 4 sessions. Kia ora Renee.
