Tomorrow grown Ngati Apa adults will be sliding down a hill at Whangaehu School, landing in a pit of foam, searching for a puzzle piece and running back up the hill to add it to a picture.
The Rangitikei iwi (tribe) is holding its first cultural festival for Ngati Apa/Nga Wairiki people at the school.
Organiser Gaylene Nepia said the hill in the grounds gave the venue extra appeal. She's the iwi's kaihono, and organising events is one of her roles.
About 550 iwi members have registered for the festival, called Apa Rising. The whole event will be free for them - including lunch and a hangi tea in the evening. It will be held outdoors at the school, with a stage, stalls, marquees and tents.
It begins at 8.30am, with a parade of the four hapu collectives, each wearing uniforms provided by Te Runanga o Ngati Apa. After that comes a group exercise session.
